A Prayer For Learning To Listen

“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27, 28).

 

This prayer is not from me, and it is much simpler than mine usually are. I am very happy to share it though, because it comes from one of the best articles I’ve ever read about listening and the spirituality of listening. I feel like it gave me a whole new project to work on in myself and my behavior.

 

Prayer from the article:

‘from spiritual director Aelred of Rievaulx: “Here we are, you and I, and I hope a third, Christ, is in our midst.”’
