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

Today’s Reflection: HERMIT RULE 8: Work in silence, without saying what you do. Don’t look for recognition or applause. Accept what providence itself affords you in relation to your actions. — Bodmin Hermit, a Franciscan hermit in Cornwall, England

Today’s Reflection: SILENCE IS THE THINK TANK OF THE SOUL – Mental noise is hurting our minds . We are continually asking questions that create busyness not knowledge. We are in ‘reacting mode,’ leaving no room for reflection. To regain perspective in life we need to pause. Silence is fertile ground. — Bodmin Hermit
