“The prayer of quiet is a prayer that makes room for God’s presence.
When we are quiet, we have come to the end of talking, finished being in charge, finished insisting on our own way.
We are ready to make room for God’s voice, for God’s guidance, for God’s way.
The prayer of quiet involves listening and waiting.
This often does not feel like prayer.
Because we tend to think of prayer as doing something, rather than as waiting quietly before God….”

Amen.
Bless you.
Just this past Saurday evening, I led my 7 year-old son together with six of his friends and their Mums in a ‘silence prayer’ (as we call it) at a gathering before mass. It was a very beautiful spiritual space. I had explained to the children that if we can be very quiet and very still for a few moments, sometimes we will hear God speaking to us, whispering into our hearts. Big hugs to you Perpetua. You so often strike a chord with things going on in our life. : )))
I love this comment and story, Anne. This is a good way to open the heart and mind of the children to the mystery of God. Bless you and yours.

It’s to me, waiting for the due season. It could be tasking, but it’s surely graceful.
That’s wonderful to know. Thank you.

Ah… you couldnl’t have said it any better. AMEN.
