My wife was going through old boxes and she came across a speech that was given to my graduation class from St. Mary's University in 2004.
It is not given a source and a quick google search did not help me out. I share it as a great benediction to which I hope to memorize in the coming month.

Because the world is poor and starving, go with bread.
Because the world is filled with fear, go with courage.
Because the world is in despair, go with hope.
Because the world is living lies, go with truth.
Because the world is sick with sorrow, go with joy.
Because the world is weary of wars, go with peace.
Because the world is seldom fair, go with justice.
Because the world is under judgment, go with mercy.
Because the world will die without it, go with love.
