Morning Offering: 05. 07. 25

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

Today’s ReflectionLord of Peace, thank You for the gift of quiet moments and the stillness when we can feel Your presence. Bless those who find solace in their solitude, renewing their hearts and minds in the calm of Your love. May they draw strength and inspiration from the silence, hearing Your voice more clearly. Help them to know they are never alone, for You are always with them.— Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s Reflection: Live one day at a time. Take advantage of the moments and the dawns.  Discover in each moment, in landscapes, in music and in all manifestations of  beauty, the depth of your true interior solitude. — Bodmin Hermit,  a Franciscan hermit living in Cornwall, England

Today’s Reflection:  Solitude is not found so much by looking outside the boundaries of your dwelling, as by staying within. Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present, you will never find it.  —Thomas Merton
