For the last weeks of Lent until Easter, we will provide daily reflections on the a desert journey. The citations come from John Moses, The Desert. An Anthology for Lent (Harrisburg, PA.: Morehouse, 1997).
Solitude
“When you retreat into yourself, you should stand before the Lord, and remain in His presence, not letting the eyes of the mind turn away from the Lord. This is the true wilderness—to stand face to face with the Lord.”
Theophan the Recluse
“Men and women of solitude have discovered that the only way to be truly present to the world is to live in the presence of God.”
Alessandro Prozato
“I have often said that the sole cause of our unhappiness is that we do not know how to stay quietly in our room.”
Blaise Pascal
