In the Silence

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is a friend of silence. See how nature, trees, flowers, grass, grow in silence? See the stars, the moon, the sun, how they move in silence? Is it not our mission to give God to the poor - and not a dead god, but a living, loving God? The more we receive in a silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us. All our words will be useless unless they come from within. Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness."

Silence is sacred. 

Here in the everyday to-do of life, it takes discipline. 

It's often seen as Useless or Misunderstood.

Today I embrace silence as more powerful than words. 

If I can do that today, then perhaps I can do it tomorrow, too.
