In a breath of silence, in a whisper,
God speaks to you humbly. – Brother Roger of Taize

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: Lord, grant me the wisdom to know when to speak and when to hold my tongue. Help me recognize the moments that call for courage and truth, and the moments when letting go brings greater peace. Guide my words to be gentle, my silence to be purposeful and my heart always aligned with Your grace. Amen. – Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

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.

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
