ON PRACTICING THE STILLNESS

The following is what I just this morning realized about me, my spiritual growth, today...my ongoing transformation as it were: 

For most of my life, every thought process has revolved around solving problems and seeking answers, but I’ve started to practice stillness and silence instead of searching for anything at all. In this new space of contemplation, powerful insights arise at the most unexpected moments. They aren’t the result of my own effort and mental machinations; they are gifts directly communicated to me through God’s love. Our intellects can be clever and ever so knowledgeable, but when we gaze up at the night sky or watch a butterfly, we understand that our minds must take a backseat to the quiet, gentle guidance of God. —David M. [from Fr Richard's Daily Meditations, 9/7/25]

I believe this to be available to everyone whether we know it or not...or, knowing it, whether we choose it or not. 

The Word without our will at the wheel: It will find us eventually, and It will drive us to our glory.

Thank you.
