Seeking Silence

Seeking silence

by an act of prayerful solitude,

to fill that place within

where the “Word of Love”

has been spoken in time;

uttered in the cry of a tiny infant,

born in a humble stable,

to a pure, faithful woman;

sheltered by a spouse most chaste,

witnessed by shepherds and kings,

heralded by angels, and the throngs of heaven.

Seeking silence

by an act of simple trusting

by an attitude shaped by his beatitudes

pure and gentle, merciful and peaceful,

in poverty of spirit, respectful,

comforted in grief, while seeking justice

loving enemies, anticipating heaven;

called to follow, to listen, to love,

and to hesitate in counting the cost

called to shape, to mould

for all eternity, a disciple’s listening heart.
