Stillness + Waiting

O blessed Jesus, give me stillness of soul in You. Let your mighty calmness reign in me.
Rule me, O King of Gentleness, King of Peace. Amen.

-St. John of the Cross, Prayer of Peace

Reflect

Learn to abide with attention in loving waiting upon God in a state of quiet. Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.
