The Discipline of Silence

By Ambrose of MilanSource: Ambrose of Milan - On the Duties of the Clergy (adapted) (Public Domain)Short45 words

Silence is the school of the Holy Spirit. In silence, we learn to hear what cannot be heard in noise. We discover thoughts we did not know we had. We meet a God who speaks not in the whirlwind but in the still small voice.

Prayer for Solitude

God of silence, I come away from noise and busyness to simply be with You. Not to accomplish anything. Not to earn anything. Just to be. In this quiet, speak what I need to hear. Reveal what I need to see.
