Fears and Tears

There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence. Rule of St. Benedict.

In a noisy world, I long for silence, a place of peace and solitude where I can be with the Lord. A place to settle my mind, body, and soul in stillness and quietness.

As the season of Lent continues, I have incorporated small disciplines in my daily routine to help me enter the quiet of the desert with the Lord.

Every year is a little different for me, but the calling is the same. To repent and believe in the Gospel.

To remember my littleness and dependence on God. To walk in humility with the Lord.

To be changed and transformed to live as God calls me to live; as His beloved daughter. To live in truth and in light.

I long for silence, and by His grace, it is revealed to me that I long for God. He is what my heart desires.

You have made us for Yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in You. St. Augustine.
