(Last of three reflections on silent prayer)

Morning Offering: 08. 02. 24

Today’s Reflection: Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, and solitude,
where everything I touch is turned into prayer: where the sky is my prayer,
the birds are my prayer,
the wind in the trees is my prayer,
for God is all in all.  —Thomas Merton
