My mind goes to this quote from Pope Francis: “Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel. If we are to know the Lord, we must go to him. Listen to him in silence before the Tabernacle and approach him in the sacraments.”
My car became a holy place during that road trip. It might have been silent in my car, but God and I had quite the conversation. I’ll admit, I didn’t make it the entire trip in silence. A good conversation can last only so long, and eventually I was back to my tunes and texts. But for at least a little while, I saw silence’s golden sheen.
And in it, I heard God speaking to me the loudest.
