Oratio Divina: Sweet Silence

Speak to me
sweet silence
let me hear your voice
beneath the clamor
of my thoughts
and the temptations
of desire
embraced in stillness
a warm blanket of peace
nowhere to go
no one to be
I am in God
God is in me
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
Where in your daily life can you intentionally create space for silence so that you may become more aware of God’s presence within you?

Scripture:
“For in him we live and move and have our being.” — Acts 17:28 (NRSVCE)
