(Last of three reflections on silent prayer)
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

Suggestion to readers: Place yourself in the photo, then read the reflection
Today’s Reflection: I SIT IN SILENCE to start my day. I sit in silence to forget me and open to God. I sit in silence to be filled with God’s love. I sit in silence to be healed by God. I sit in silence to be transformed by God. I sit in silence because it teaches me how to live. I sit in silence. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection – SILENCE, THEN A BIT MORE:
Go deeper past thought into silence
past silence into stillness
past stillness into the heart.
Let love consume all that is left of you.— Bodmin Hermit, Franciscan hermit living in Cornwall, England.

Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER – Lord of the Morning, 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. When silence unsettles me, let the waves of your peace & presence wash over me. — Bodmin Hermit, a Franciscan hermit in Cornwall, England

Today’s Reflection: Pure prayer begins at the threshold of silence. It says nothing, asks for nothing. It’s a kind of listening. The deeper the listening, the less we listen for, until silence itself becomes the voice of God. — Stephen Mitchell
