Dear Friend,

Imagine being present at the birth of the Savior of the World. What would be your reaction?

Joy? Silence?

Perhaps a combination of the two.

Wonderfully, silence and joy are not mutually exclusive. They are beautiful together and complement each other.

The silence I am referring to is interior silence: that silence of the heart, mind and soul!

Cultivating interior silence is a process, but is well worth our spiritual effort!

Cardinal Robert Sarah in his international success, The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise, recalls that life is a silent relationship between what is most intimate in man and God and is indispensable for hearing the music of God.  

To reflect further on this wonderful reality, please click here to read Silent Night: A Christmas Meditation, a gift from our team to you.

May the Infant Savior, through His Blessed Mother, bestow upon you an abundance of joy, peace, love and interior silence this Christmas!

Your friend in Jesus and Mary,
