Reflection

“If a tiny spark of God’s love already burns within you, do not expose it to the wind, for it may get blown out…Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your time in useless chatter…Do not give yourself to others so completely that you have nothing left for yourself.” – St. Charles Borromeo

Prayer

God of stillness,
You place within us a quiet spark of your presence, tender and easily worn down by the noise and demands of life. Teach us to protect that inner flame by seeking moments of silence with you, where our hearts can be renewed and our spirits restored. Help us to remember that we are not called to pour ourselves out endlessly, but to remain rooted in your love so we can give from a place of wholeness. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a few minutes today to step away from noise, demands, and distraction and use that time to rest in God’s presence.
