THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

Thought for the Day # 27 – Saturday April 11, 2020

“Holy Saturday”

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today is Holy Saturday, this is the day of silence. The silence of God.
Perhaps we could simply open ourselves to God in silence. Take two minutes
to place ourselves before God in silence. Compare this to when we sit in the
sun and we feel warmed up by the sun, we don’t need to do anything to be
warmed up! We only have to place ourselves in the sun. That’s the only thing
that’s required! We are being asked to do the same.

When we place ourselves in front of God, he comes to warm our heart.
Let’s take two minutes on this Holy Saturday to be in silence before God, to
place ourselves, place our heart in front of God, our soul, our spirit, without
saying a word! Simply be there in front of him in silence! And he will warm our
hearts, he will enlighten us, he will bring us peace, and comfort us. He sees our
heart and comes deep into it.

So together, each in our isolation, let’s take time to be in silence in
front of God and to place ourselves in his light, in his gentleness.
