BLESSING OF THE DAY - May the God of Silence bless you, drawing you away from the clamor and chaos of a diverted world. In the hush of God's wordless presence, may you know the unutterable sacredness of the gift of divine love. May your "inner self grow strong" in that love. May the God of Silence, the God of solitude be with you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
