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: 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: Do not take on too much for this will achieve the best results. Let silence and stillness be your chosen way, and may you achieve quietness. The Lord desires neither your busyness nor your things, but all you are. — Bodmin Hermit.

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.

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.
