Life can be a busy place, an hectic endeavour. There is definitely a need for quite time, for peaceful space, for room to breath and to be.
Continual silence, and removal from the noise of the things of this world and forgetfulness of them, lifts up the heart and asks us to think of the things of heaven and sets our hearts upon them. (St. Bernard of Clairvaux)I would indeed like my heart to be lifted up. Why do we run towards the noise? Where is the silence in which we might hear the voice that calls us heavenward, the voice that brings us peace?
I desire that voice; I desire that peace.
Pax tibi
