Reflection

“We need to find God, and God cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.” –St. Teresa of Calcutta

Prayer

God of Peace,

So many are searching for you, yet the noise and restlessness within and without remains constant. Where can we go to find silence? Where can solace be found? Even if only in the depths of our hearts, lead us to friendship with silence. Shelter us in the peace of at least one quiet moment, where our spirits might hear your still small voice. One word from you, and all storms are stilled. Amen.

Call to Action

Can I protect at least three minutes of my schedule today, to do nothing but practice silence? Give myself permission to do so.
