Poets & Saints

The Courage to Be Soft


Listen Later

Scripture  

Matthew 11:29 (NRSVUE)  

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me,  

for I am gentle and humble in heart,  

and you will find rest for your souls.




Refrain  

I open my heart to gentleness.




Quote / Poem  

Macrina Wiederkehr  

“I will believe the truth about myself  

no matter how beautiful it is.  

I will believe that gentleness is not a luxury—  

it is a way of being holy.  

The soft heart,  

the quiet word,  

the listening soul—  

these are sacred things  

in a hardened world.”
