Morning Offering: 04. 12. 24

Today’s Reflection: Begin your day and your prayers in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. He is the friend of silence, we need to listen to God because it’s not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters.  — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: Today I pray for silence in a cacophony of sound.
I ask for the grace to float in the currents of my soul.
To feel the ebb and flow of the Spirit holding me.
To hear the gentle pulls and pushes of Your whispers.
To accept the gravitational fall to my center in you.
To open my heart to courageous acceptance,
Bringing your hope, your love to the world. —Jen LaMaster

Today’s Reflection: We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.  — St. Teresa of Calcutta
