Thomas Merton writing during his Monastic years.
"...If we are called by God to holiness of life, and if holiness is beyond our natural power to achieve (which it certainly is) then it follows that God himself must give us the light, the strength, and the courage to fulfill the task he requires of us. He will certainly give us the grace we need".
Thomas Merton, Life and Holiness (New York: Image, 1963) p. 17

God’s Silent Presence
≈ Strive for inner peace
≈ Listening for the silence
God’s presence is there
≈ Strive for inner peace
≈ Listening for the silence
God’s presence in You
≈ Strive to know silence
≈ Listen for God’s peacefulness
Where He lives in you
≈ Hold your babbling mind
≈ Silence begins God’s language
Speaking without words
≈ God will hear your thoughts
≈ When you start to live His love
Listen to others
≈ God listens to you
≈ When you stop to live His love
As you hear the other
≈ Pull back from the world
≈ Strive to know your silent self
Where God is present
≈ Life’s your song to sing
≈ Sung in your rhythm of love
Heart felt, God given

Count a tree’s birthdays
Each ring of rain and sunshine
Green homes for bird songs
