Theme: Inner Peace and QuietudeScripture: Psalm 46:10Reflection: Thomas Merton on the Power of SilenceFocusIn this episode, the focus will be on the theme of inner peace and quietude during the Advent season, drawing from the teachings in Psalm 46:10 and Thomas Merton's perspective on the strength of silence.Psalms 46:10 NRSVBe still, and know that I am God!No Man Is An IslandThomas Merton1.The rain ceases, and a bird’s clear song suddenly announces the difference between Heaven and hell.2. If you go into solitude with a silent tongue, the silence of mute beings will share with you their rest. But if you go into solitude with a silent heart, the silence of creation will speak louder than the tongues of men or angels. 3. Silence is the strength of our interior life. If we fill our lives with silence, then we live in hope. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
