Psalm 38:9&15

All my longings lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing is not hidden from you.

Lord, I wait for you;
    you will answer, Lord my God.

“Silence is God’s first language; everything else is a poor translation. In order to hear that language, we must learn to be still and to rest in God..” – Thomas Keating

“In silence I tell you everything, Lord, because the language of love is without words” – Saint Faustina

Reflection

Gently read through the verses and quotes above. Is there a longing you’ve set before God? We invite you take a few moments of silence gently holding the longing today. Hold all – answers, questions, waiting – in a prayer of gratitude with God as you move into your day.
