Two years ago today Bono spoke with a prophetic voice at the National Prayer Breakfast in D.C. To watch the video or read the text of his remarks go here. Following is one of many statements that spoke to me:
A number of years ago, I met a wise man who changed my life. In countless ways, large and small, I was always seeking the Lord’s blessing. I was saying, “Look, I have a new song, would you look out for it. I have a family, I’m going away on tour, please look after them. I have this crazy idea, could I have a blessing on it?”
And this wise man asked me to stop. He said, “Stop asking God to bless what you’re doing. Get involved in what God is doing — because it’s already blessed. Well, let’s get involved in what God is doing. God, as I say, is always with the poor. That’s what God is doing. That’s what He’s calling us to do.
I’m looking for the name of the wise man in this quote from Bono’s speech. Does anyone know who said it to Bono? Thank you,
