"There must be a stillness and a silence for this Word to make itself heard. We cannot serve this Word better than in stillness and silence: there we can hear it and there too we will understand it aright - in the unknowing. To him who knows nothing, it appears and reveals itself."
Meister Eckhart
I welcome the silence in my life as my flock returns to school and work. I embrace the silence, welcoming it back, knowing that in this space of quiet and letting go of all I perceive to be that God can speak. I am reclaiming my daily routine of Centering Prayer and allowing space for the Spirit to move and guide me. I have scheduled monthly silent retreats at Richmond Hill as I continue in this formation process and move forward in this journey toward ordination. I just need to be present. The Spirit will lead if I will listen...
