Reflection

“In stillness and silence
we experience wisdom
challenging us
to listen
encouraging us
to take risks
loving us
into accepting ourselves.”
–Sr. Stan (Sr. Stanislaus Kennedy)

Prayer

Sacred Silence,

As the Christmas season approaches, a frenetic spirit seems to take over us. We find ourselves more easily snared by the hustle and bustle of daily living. Help us to pause and reset by engaging more occasions for silence. The kind of stillness in which your gentle voice can speak to us about who we are before you and who we are called to be for others. As the days tempt us to feel more chaotic, lead us to embrace more of your peace, wisdom, encouragement and love. Amen.

Call to Action

Be deliberate today about taking time out to pause, breathe, and rest within silence.
