Daily Lectio Divina: Our griefs

Episode 419

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re continuing our series on Wisdom from Rilke using selections from Letters to a Young Poet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke.  This week’s theme is Waiting in the Struggle, and today’s reading comes again from The Eighth Letter.

[Our griefs] are the moments when something new has entered into us, something unfamiliar.  Our feelings become mute in timid shyness.  Everything within us steps back; a silence ensues, and the something new, known to no one, stands in the center and is silent.
