The silence that is experienced in being quiet and alone is not the deepest and most satisfying silence to be had. The heart's desire is for the Eternal, a level of silence that is penetrating in its power to draw forth the secret communication of the soul. Here, we discover that silence speaks and we learn how poor we are when we do not abide in this dimension. In this great silence, our being finds its roots in God, is nurtured inwardly, and gradually expands into a form of life that is itself eternal.
Our little community of the FRIENDS OF SILENCE is an expression of the desire to have all our relations, all of our activity in the world, pass THROUGH Eternity.If we are to participate in bringing the Blessed Community to its completion, we must be still and know God in our inner beings.We invite anyone who shares this dream, this hope, to COME and SEE ... to COME and BE with us each month.
This is our beginning.We welcome your sharings and responses.Please send them by the 15th of each month to Nan at St. Agnes Church.
