It is a time for you to converse with your Mother.When you let your mind wander, you are no longer speaking to me but to the creatures that go through your mind.Every Hail Mary is a flower of your soul; your distractions tear away the petals, and then only a thorny stem remains.The mysteries are the perfume of the flower, and if you do not meditate on them, you will have a flower with colors but without fragrance. Be fervent and loving when you pray the Rosary because without your filial love, the rose you offer to me is artificial. It is a paper flower." - Our Lady to Father DolindoMay we all grow in grace and peace and not neglect the silence that is printed in the center of our being. It will not fail us. ~ Thomas MertonMother Teresa had a profound understanding of silence and its importance. She once said: "We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature-trees, flowers, grass — grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. I recently read a biography of Mother Teresa and was struck by her willingness to surrender to God. She once said that to know God is to want to give Him everything. Her trustful surrender really shouldn't surprise me, since she sought to develop in herself and in her Sisters "the constant awareness of the Divine Presence everywhere and in everyone. How did she accomplish this constant awareness? By seeking silence. Mother Teresa told her Sisters, "The fruit of silence is prayer." She spoke often about interior silence, saying that since she was surrounded by noise and restlessness, she had to find silence within her soul. To make interior silence possible, she said we should practice it often: "The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us. Jesus is always waiting for us in silence. In this silence he listens to us and speaks to our souls. And there, we will hear his voice...In this silence we find a new energy and a real unity. God's energy becomes ours, allowing us to perform things well."Although it is difficult to find silence in the midst of a noisy world, we must make time for it—at least interiorly-as much as possible. How hard this is! But if we don't, we will find that trustful surrender will remain elusive, and that nagging doubts will have more ability to creep in from the shadows. Lent is a time for deliberate actions that help unite us to Our Lord. Why not make silence one of them?1. Do I spend any time in silence each day? 2. Do I seek out silence? Or do I fill in any opportunity for quiet time with noise instead? 3. Do I turn on music in the car when I could drive in silence for a while? 4. Do I phone a friend when I could spend some time in prayer? Mother Theresa quotes and commentary via @goodcatholicmedia
