“May the God who is all love be your unchanging dwelling place, your cell, and your cloister in the midst of the world.” (Elizabeth of the Trinity) As a young woman living in the hustle and bustle of the everyday life, I find myself at times struggling with hearing God’s voice through all of the noise. Actually, some days it feels more like the music from a rock concert is blasting in my ears; the never-ending 24/7 explosion of media coverage on the election and the Coronavirus.
Keeping Silence in the "Cloister" of Our Hearts This Advent
Thanks for writing this - I forwarded it to a Protestant friend who is considering conversion. You explained adoration better than I could.
A resounding AMEN and a big thank you for this reflection! I think we all need to be reminded of your message!
We need more of this kind of silence today.
