In the silence



St. Mary's Cathedral is a beautiful Gothic church! That is my favorite style of church! So beautiful. Someone was commissioned to paint a beautiful image of Mary and Jesus! So real! I spent a good amount of time praying in front of the image. My word in prayer today was silence.
The prayer on this prayer card I got, for the pilgrimage said, "Mary teach me to hear God in the silence." I am really excited to put this into practice and see what God does with it.

I then took some time to visit with the body of blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. They had a display of quotes by him and his body there in the cathedral. It was awesome!!! Another reminder of entering into the silence. I have always wanted to learn more about him, and have yet to do so, so now i am excited to do that. A few of us are excited about looking into starting a young adult Frassatti society at Franciscan.

More later...
