Meditate on the word of God

I meditate on your ordinances, I have your paths before my eyes. Psalm 119.15

After listening to the car radio for a long time, did you feel, like me, a real relief by turning it off ?

During the time of the confinement of the population in 2020, we experienced more or less great constraints in our lives. But, a majority of confined people appreciated the drop in the number of decibels in their environment !

The noise recorded near the main roads had dropped by around 80%. The surprise, especially for city dwellers, was to hear the subdued sounds of nature usually obscured by those of human activity. Indeed, this one has the disadvantage of being often accompanied by noise... Sooner or later, man needs to escape the agitation, to live in calm, in tranquility. He needs his daily dose of silence.

A silence above all necessary to our soul is that of a time spent in the presence of God. Believe me, it outweighs all the talk of those who don't care ! There is more benefit there for the one who collects himself, than to spread himself abundantly in words.

The “gateway” is called the Bible : it is the Word of God ; read and meditate on it. She is the source of life...
