Softly

Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy innocence.

And from this dream the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son.

Dream of your brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your dreams on his mistakes.

Select his thoughtfulness to dream about instead of counting up the hurts he gave.

Forgive him his illusions, and give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he gave.

And do not brush aside his many gifts because he is not perfect in your dreams.

He represents his Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you.
