Sacred Silence

Creating space for silence is truly vital for the spiritual life. Without silence, it is impossible to know Jesus deeply. Yes, other things can lead us to know, and understand God. Nevertheless, in the silence of the heart, God’s, intimate voice resounds most clearly. Sometimes, His voice is simply the presence of His peace. Prayerfully silence can look different for everyone.

Whether it's a long car ride home, a break at work, an ocean, side trail, your prayer room at home, even in front of the tabernacle at your local parish, any place can become a chamber of encounter with the living God. If we carve out space for him to speak, he will. You can just enjoy being silent together.

“The language He hears best is the silent language of love.” St. John of the Cross
