16 Days of Activism to End Violence against Women
27 November 2012
Often we are struck by the gentleness, understanding, calmness and concern that Jesus showed to women, children, widows, the old, the sick, the maimed and the people whom society would not care to look at. He was at ease with people, the elements, the trees, birds and animals and also dealt with spirits. He proved that being gentle and kind is not a sign of weakness. This poem brings out all that is gentle and loving, caring and comforting, and speaks of His ultimate sacrifice of dying so that we get new life......
 Jesus, as a mother you gather your people to you:
You are gentle with us as a
mother with her children
Often you weep over our sins
and our pride:
Tenderly you draw us from
hatred and judgment.
You comfort us in sorrow and
bind up our wounds:
In sickness you nurse us, and
with pure milk you feed us.
Jesus, by your dying we are
born to new life:
By your anguish and labour we
come forth in joy
Despair turns to hope through
your sweet goodness:
Through your gentleness we
find comfort in fear.
Your warmth gives life to the
dead:
Your touch makes sinners
righteous.
Lord Jesus, in your mercy
heal us:
In your love and tenderness
remake us.
In your compassion bring
grace and forgiveness:
For the beauty of heaven many
your love prepare us.
