Our pastor's homily focused on something very important (and yet often overlooked in our society) today: QUIET/SILENCE.
He explained that if we don't take time to listen, then we will never learn. If we do all the talking, how can we hear other people? If we're always plugged in, what are we missing?
Very good thoughts. Very timely questions/reflections.
Silence is good. We all need more of it in our lives to better be in tune with God, with each other, and with ourselves.
Can you imagine what a better world we would live in if we all started listening just a little bit more...?
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
