Daily Lectio Divina: The odd silence

Episode 758

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from Listening to Your Life: Daily Meditations with Frederick Buechner, an American writer and theologian. Today we’re reading a selection from “Prayer.”

The odd silence you fall into when something very beautiful is happening or something very good or bad…The stammer of pain at somebody else’s pain. The stammer of joy at somebody else’s joy. Whatever words or sounds you use for sighing with over your own life. These are all prayers in their way. These are all spoken not just to yourself but to something even more familiar than yourself and even more strange than the world.

I invite you to visit the Sacred Pilgrim Facebook page where you can share your word or phrase and what came up for you during your prayer time.
