The Quietness of God:
All of us at some time or other have experienced the presence of God in the power of nature. But the Lord’s presence is more often offered to us in quieter ways: in the love that we share with other believers, in the calm expression of the Lord’s teaching by the Church, in the celebration of the sacraments, in the silence of prayer.
=====================================================================
When we stand praying, beloved brethren, we ought to be watchful and earnest with our whole
heart, intent on our prayers. Let all carnal and worldly thoughts pass away, nor let the soul at that time think on anything except the object of its prayer.
- St. Cyprian (On the Lord's Prayer, 31)
