When we take the time to see and hear young people, most often we find compassion rising within us. When we see with the eyes of Jesus and hear with the ears of Jesus, we soon find ourselves feeling with the heart of Jesus… When we seek to be present to young people, we not only see and hear them, we also seek to let down the walls of our heart and allow ourselves to be moved by them. As ministers with youth, we seek to have soft hearts, hearts that can be touched by the joy, confusion, loneliness, anger or tears of young people.
Mark Yaconelli, Contemplative Youth Ministry (p.76)
