We need to recover an oasis of silence within the rhyme and reason of our active life, for it is in silence that we meet God face to face.
~ Max Picard
The modality of my prayer has changed radically. In place of discursive meditation, I have begun the practice of sitting in silence, making myself a capacity for an outpouring of God's love. ... It is my experience that our awakening to the Sacred in the world of everyday is fed and nurtured by our silent journey to that "space" within where all things are ONE.
