Holy solitude

Leopold Carl Müller (1834–1892)
Morning Prayer of a Bedouin

An attentive ear is the joy of the wise.
Sirach 3:29b

To humble myself is to seek the holy solitude of God’s presence. In this way I learn finally the true identity of myself and all people: We are the beloved of God.

Today I will cultivate an attentive inner silence to open my mind, heart, and ears to hear and welcome God’s love.
