QUIETING...

 

 

I begin by quieting bother, interiorly and exteriorly.

I take the norm of silence as being extremely important for an atmosphere of love which will allow God my Father to communicate with me.

 

I shall take care to remain recollected to relax and to let go in His presence.

May I have

• A listening heart
• An open heart
• A patient waiting
• A beggar spirit
• A capacity for a sense of the true 
• And a taste for the good
• A generous heart
• A heart with faith, hope and love

Silence before God is not about achieving.  Its about receiving. 

 

Teach me, Lord, 
how to come to thee.  
Nothing else do I have but willingness.  
How am I to reach thee, 
I do not know.  
Do thou inspire me, 
show me, 
give me what I need for my journey.   
St Augustine
