God in the silence

What a day!  It began with an awesome experience at the beginning of my meditation period. I went outside to enjoy the solitude of nature and feel the presence of the Lord.  I could only describe the atmosphere in terms of softness.  The air was a soft mist, a light soft gray color, warm as a soft  wool blanket, not a sound in the air, not even birds chirping in the morning mist, the soft hum of nearby traffic was the only noise.  Not a leaf on a tree stirred in the soft morning light. It truly was a “wow” experience.

As I reflected on the day’s  scripture passages, the silence was as nearly as deep. Perhaps God wanted me to steep myself in the solitude and allow His Spirit deep within me to pray on the behalf of the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, our SSM Associates, our partners in ministry—that all baptized Christians—and all of our family members about to begin a new day.
