Lent with St. Clare: Tuesday of Holy Week

"'Let the tongue of the flesh be silent when I seek to express my love for you; and let the tongue of the Spirit speak.' - Fourth Letter to Agnes of Prague

"We've all heard the saying 'Actions speak louder than words.' In her letter to Agnes, St. Clare seems to be conveying that very message. We live in a noisy world. Too often we fill silent moments with endless chatter and loud distractions. Yet in silence there can be great peace.

"Through silence we discover feelings our words cannot convey, and thoughts hidden in the recesses of our minds. In the silence, we can often find Christ."

Franciscan Media is offering a special Lenten series of meditations, "Lent with St. Clare." The mediation for the Tuesday of Holy Week is as follows:
