A Silent Shout

 

'God does not hear us as man hears. 
Unless you shout with your 
lungs and chest and lips,
a mere man does not hear.  
Whereas to God, 
your very thoughts shout.' 

St. Augustine


Painting: Albert Ritzberger, Junge Frau am Sofa, 1898

    Really like this! My thoughts were shouting and crying today. Comforting to know God heard even as I was struggling with what to pray.

    I think I must be wearing out His ears :)

    But really...Beautiful, beautiful words. Words to hang your hat one when you think no one is listening. Thank you.

    Thank you so much, Colleen and Paula and Monica! It has been helping me a lot lately just to remember that Our Lord can "hear" my THOUGHTS.
