Today’s Reflection: Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us. –  Thich Nhat Han, Vietnamese Buddhist monk

Today’s Reflection: Distance, Silence, Peace

Distance allows you to break free from the noise and limitations.

Silence helps you hear your deepest wisdom.

Peace gives you the clarity to move with purpose. – from a post by Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection:  Lord, You know the ache of absence and the silence that lingers in our hearts. Comfort those who miss someone dearly fill the emptiness with your peace. Hold those close in their sorrow and remind them that love never truly ends. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

Today’s Reflection: It seems to me that some of us value information over wonder and noise over silence. And I feel that we need a lot more wonder and a lot more silence in our lives. — Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)

Today’s Reflection: Lord, I know that true peace does not come from the next purchase, but through the next encounter with You. Lead me to You in the silence, in solidarity, and in sacrament.  Help me to trust in the good You give; it may not be shiny, it might not make me popular with friends and family, but You know my true needs better than I do.  Amen. —Fr. Aaron Malnick, SJ

Today’s Reflection:

Sometimes you need to just sit in silence with God.

Not every prayer needs words.

Not every moment needs movement.

Just be still. Let your soul breathe.

In the quiet, He speaks. In the stillness, He heals.

Today’s Reflection: Come away from the din, to the quiet fields over which the great sky stretches between us and the stars.  There lies but silence, and there in the stillness let us listen to the voice that is speaking within us. — Jerome K. Jerome

Today’s Reflection: I asked of God,

but there was silence.

I prayed to God,

but there was silence.

I begged of God,

but there was silence.

I cried out to God,

but there was silence.

Then I was silent,

and there was God.—  Author unknown.
