Friendly Ears

Listen in to this old monk from 850 years ago. Read these poetic words over a couple of times. Let them speak to you. Let them comfort you. Let them challenge you.

Who comes to mind as listener?

Who comes to mind as someone to listen?

How has Christ been present to you this week through others?

Here we are, you and I, and I hope a third, Christ, is in our midst….Come now, beloved, open your hearts, and pour into these friendly ears whatsoever you will, and let us accept gracefully the gift of this place, time, and leisure. - Aelred of Rievaulx
