book II: chapter 31-32
“They said to each other, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?’” (Luke 24:35)
Waiting In Silent Stillness
Her humble soul, in silence, waits,
Preparing to receive His Word:
Her intellect’s white noise abates;
Her soul at prayer is stilled, not stirred.
At time unknown, His Word arrives;
Her faithful silence welcomes Him.
In loving peace, His presence thrives;
His love overflows her soul’s brim.
His wisdom, with power and might,
Is etched upon her tablet soul:
It penetrates like laser light;
She humbly receives His Word whole.
In passive silence He is heard;
Still souls welcome th’Incarnate Word.
May the Word be etched upon our souls as we abide in His presence with silent submission.
