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... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa
Scripture
I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get
away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven,
you are there;
if I go down to
the grave,[a] you are there.
If I ride the wings
of the morning,
if I dwell by the
farthest oceans,
even there your hand
will guide me,
and your strength
will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light
around me to become night—
but even in
darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light
are the same to you. Psalms 139:7-12 NLT

There You Are Rich Mullins

"I stood on that Cherokee Plain
And the Cimeron broke free and jumped its banks
All in a rush of life
The thunderhead roared out its song
And it gave what was too much for it to hold
And so must I
And You light the sun to lead me
Send the wind to be my guide
Just the wonder of this prairie
So lonely and so alive
And the song the moon is singin'
With the rain and with the fire
Says there You are
(There You are)
There You are
In front of me
The antelopes' white flashing flanks
Sparked in the heart of the Cheyenne breaks
Only to disappear
Just like this memory of what once was my home
And as I move beyond everything I've known
You pull me near
And You light the sun to lead me
Send the wind to be my guide
Just the wonder of this prairie
So lonely and so alive
And the song the moon is singin'
With the rain and with the fire
Says there You are
(There You are)
There You are
And Your kingdom sings of a glory
Of a power that is Yours alone
And You're the one breathed into the many
You're faith ~ You're love ~ and the hope
As we lay our hearts before You
Our hands are free to let go
And there You are
(There You are)
There You are
In front of me"
Sentence Prayer
Lord, make me an
instrument of your peace.
Where there is
hatred, let me sow love;
where there is
injury,pardon;
where there is doubt,
faith;
where there is
despair, hope;
where there is
darkness, light;
and where there is
sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to
console;
to be understood as
to understand;
to be loved as to
love.
For it is in giving
that we receive;
it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life. Amen
Prayer of St. Francis
Assisi
