“Rising very early before dawn, Jesus left and went off to a deserted place, where He prayed.  Simon and those who were with him pursued him, and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” Mark 1:35-37.St. Mother Theresa  of Calcutta said, “We need silence to be alone with God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep in our hearts. We need to be alone with God in silence to be renewed and transformed. Silence gives us a new outlook on life. In it we are filled with the energy of God himself that makes us do all things with joy.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You are both Lord and teacher.  You rose early to go pray – seeking Your Father alone in prayer.  Help us to imitate You, to seek this time alone, and present ourselves humbly, with an open heart, before our Father. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
