The seed of silence

December 10

“And when the hour had come that was to move

The long days onward to Bethlehem…

a moment paused,

Above a quiet place, and found, just this,

A woman wrapped in silence, and the seed

Of silence was her heart that tried to give

 All that it held to give, and ever more.”

-John W. Lynch, Excerpt from A Woman Wrapped in Silence

Today's Reflection:

These beautiful words poetically describe Our Lady as she waited for and anticipated the birth of her Son. What thoughts and insights come to you through the description “a woman wrapped in silence?” How can you imitate Our Lady and also become “a woman wrapped in silence?”
