TWO WORDS


TWO WORDS stand out for me during Lent – SILENT  &.  LISTEN
It is difficult to listen if we are not silent
And it is difficult to be silent if we are not ready to listen.
Listening is being fully present to another.
Listening means letting go of control to another. 
Listening is hearing God’s Word to us – “Be still and know that I am God.”
It is in the “still small voice” that we hear God speak to us.
Listen and Silent have exactly the same letters.
The letters in the words “silent” and “listen” can be rearranged …
Lent Is Silent
