THANK YOU TO OUR ADVERTISERS
Good News
Afresco by Par is Nogar i outside the pope’s residence reminds us of an important virtue that is often absent in modern times: the capacity to be silent. “Be still and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:11).
The figure in the fresco, titled Silence, holds a finger over his mouth, indicating that silence starts with us. Speak less! Then we should muffle the background noise, represented by a stork with a stone in its bill to stifle its squawk.
How often do we have times of silence in our lives—and not just moments when there doesn’t happen to be a radio or TV on? I mean purposeful, intentional periods of quiet to be alone with God and ourselves.
Regular times of quiet offer many benefits. They help us reflect, order our thoughts, and contemplate what’s happening inside our hearts and minds. Silence is regenerative and gives us new energy, clarity, and serenity. If we add to this quietude an internal dialogue with ourselves and our Lord, it can take our inner sanctuary to a new level. One will not only find strength but also purpose and focus. Silence is the natural habitat of a flour-ishing soul, yet we often lock out our inner self in the mayhem of the external world, never allowing it to take in what gives it life—silence.
How about taking an hour without phones, radios, TVs, and computers to dedicate yourself to some medita-tive work or recreation? Or better yet, take a moment and go to a local perpetual adoration chapel to quietly sit with our Lord.
