We do have a longing for solitude, to be alone with God -- and attending to this, even in the midst of a busy schedule and the demands of family life, curbs that loneliness and roots us deeper in the Lord.Anthony Lilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208767782574708168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627678655315773932.post-58433968940070674162011-06-07T21:59:15.477-06:002011-06-07T21:59:15.477-06:00Thanks for this reference.

The title on it, though, is "THEY SPEAK BY SILENCES". It seems to have been published in 1950's. The little book has been decisive , and still is, in my ongoing embrace in silence and solitude of all thing Catholic.<br /><br />brunoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627678655315773932.post-65395948951910208842011-05-15T19:08:11.193-06:002011-05-15T19:08:11.193-06:00A little nugget of hope!
