Today’s Reflection: Speak Gently In My Silence

Dear Lord,

Speak gently in my silence.

When the loud outer noises of my

surroundings and the loud inner noises of my

fears keep pulling me away from you, help me

to trust that you are still there even when I am

unable to hear you. Give me ears to listen to

your small, soft voice saying: “Come to me,

you who are overburdened, and I will give you rest ….. for I am gentle and humble of heart.”

Let that loving voice be my guide.

Amen. – Henri Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: I pray for focus today, dear God, because during Advent, my mind and attention tend to wander. There are so many distractions, many of them well-meaning. But nothing gives my heart rest like resting in You. I pray that I keep You at the focus of my day today, because I know the peace that only You offer. Amen. — Jesuit prayer site

Have you a “deserted place” to go for rest?

Today’s Reflection: The apostles gathered together with Jesus
and reported all they had done and taught.
He said to them,
“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” — From the Gospel according to Mark
Mk 6:30-34
