Without silence, God disappears in the noise. And this noise becomes all the more obsessive because God is absent. Unless the world rediscovers silence, it is lost. The earth then rushes into nothingness.
Cardinal Sarah
St. John Paul II said, “I encourage Christians regularly to visit Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament, for we are all called to abide in the presence of God.”
You see, the Lord is pursuing us at every moment of every single day. He wants us to ‘waste’ time with Him before the Blessed Sacrament.
What to do in the silence before the Blessed Sacrament? A couple suggestions are:
- Read the Bible
- Lectio Divina
- Contemplate the mysteries of the Rosary
- Just sit in silence and waste time with Him!
