Today’s Reflection: Hold That Thought, Hold That Moment – Find where the sound ends and silence begins. Then exist in that moment, for there you will find your secret centre of being, the perfect place of peace within yourself… the God space. — Bodmin Hermit.

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.

Morning Offering: 09. 16. 22

Today’s Reflection: God of silence and God of all sound, help me to listen.
Help me to do the deep listening to the sounds of my soul, waiting to hear your soft voice calling me deeper into you.
Give me attentive ears that begin to separate the noise from the sounds that are you; you who have been speaking to me and through me my whole life, for so long that you can seem like background noise.
Today help me hear you anew. — Author Unknown.
