Shh!
Come in
within
I AM here
take off your shoes
kneel down
and
worship
wordlessly
in this
holy place
called
prayer.
~ by Mary Frances Reis, BVM
At first, even one minute spent in unaccustomed prayer will seem as endless as an empty silence or a blank stillness; but these periods of quiet can be lengthened profitably, and these times of silent stillness can become alive, eventually becoming the most rewarding experiences of the day, as one discovers how much God has to say to those who will listen. "In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength." A person who does not understand another's silences will not understand their words either.
