To learn how to wait

Daniel J. O'Leary
November/December 2019 (Vol. XXXII, No. 10)
To learn how to wait, how to be silent, how to befriend the dark...Thus do we prepare to be creative. There is a waiting, a silence and a darkness in all birthing. Heart's winter is already a filling womb.
~ from YEAR OF THE HEART by Daniel J. O'Leary

Quote of the Day

Our little community of the FRIENDS OF SILENCE is an expression of the desire to have all our relations, all of our activity in the world, pass THROUGH Eternity.If we are to participate in bringing the Blessed Community to its completion, we must be still and know God in our inner beings.We invite anyone who shares this dream, this hope, to COME and SEE ... to COME and BE with us each month.

This is our beginning.We welcome your sharings and responses.Please send them by the 15th of each month to Nan at St. Agnes Church.

~ Nan Merrill
