“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day pours out the word today, and night to night its knowledge…Through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world their message.” Psalm 19:2-3, 5. St. Thalassios the Libyan said, “Stillness and prayer are the greatest weapons of virtue, for they purify the intellect and confer on it spiritual insight.”

Let us pray, My God, how beautiful is Your creation. So often we miss it, being too busy, with too many things to do. Help us to stop, and to let some things just be – to be still in Your Presence, to see and listen, and give thanks. May we grow in grace in the stillness. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed.
