Struck Silent by Love – Br. Lain Wilson SSJE Sermons
-
- Christianity
“A first step—a first step in our own cooperation, our working with God’s transforming us—a first step in a lifetime of first steps—is to stand silent. To stand silent in awe, witnesses to a love that cannot help but strike us silent. Words will follow—but here and now, we can do no better than the beloved disciple did: to stand silent, and believe.” Br. Lain Wilson reminds us that while our words matter deeply, so too (so, first), does our silence.
