Morning Offering: 11. 29. 25

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)

Morning Offering: 11. 21. 25

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

In the silent peace of my heart. —Unknown

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.

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 them close in their sorrow and remind them that love never truly ends. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

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

Today’s Reflection:  

God, teach me to honor the space others need their “no”, their silence, their limits. Help me to listen without pushing, to care without controlling and to love with grace and respect. May my presence bring peace, not pressure. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s  Reflection: MORNING PRAYER

Lord silence my loud tumultuous thoughts and grant my brain rest. Help me let go of my distractions and my desire to be distracted, to simply sit here with you. As the silence unsettles my spirit, let the waves of your peace and presence wash over me. Amen. — Bodmin Hermit
