Biblical Sabbath “The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath” Mk. 2:27 Stop Rest Delight Contemplate
Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go. John 21:18
If you love truth, be a lover of silence…it brings you a fruit that tongues cannot describe…In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent. But then there is born something that draws us to silence. ..After a while a certain sweetness is born in the heart of this exercise and the body is drawn almost by force to remain in silence. Isaac of Nineveh
