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

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: Loving God,
I hold myself still and quiet, waiting for you, listening to you. May this time of silence bring me closer to you; may I hear your consoling voice; may I feel your loving embrace. And when I leave this prayer, may I share your words and your compassion with those I meet today. May I bring your peace to this world that you love so much. —Fr. Paul Kalenzi, SJ

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. Amen. — Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Today’s Reflection: I love Merton — Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, and poverty, 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 in all. — Thomas Merton, Thoughts In Solitude.
