Wednesday of Holy Week: Silence

Nothing is written in the scriptures about what Jesus did on this day, thus it is called A Day of Silence.  One cannot accept that Jesus did nothing, so some scholars believe that this was a day of preparation for tomorrow night's Last Supper.  The room was probably already secured, the meal was being prepared, and I believe Jesus was in constant prayer.  That was one thing we are sure of, that Jesus was connected to His Father through prayer.  All that He did, all that He said, was motivated by the Holy Spirit guiding Him.

Seek to spend some time today in complete silence.  Listen to what God may be trying to tell you about life, about you, about your loved ones, and about your soul.

We may just find that silence is deafening.
