Gentle Strength
// September 21st, 2009 // Uncategorized
The stronger a person is, the gentler they can afford to be. Jesus says, “Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart.” (Matt. 11:29) Jesus was not a wimp. He had the strength of steel. Strength is tested by resistance to pressure. This is true of marriage, friendships, and character. The stronger we are in our innermost being and heart, the less need we have of proving who we are and controlling others. Gentleness is a venture of the strong, not one of the weak.
-Fr. Duane Stenzel
