Slide 1:

Be silent within ...

Slide 2:

Let nothing disturb you Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you; everything is fleeting; God is unchanging, with patience, everything is attained. He who possesses God, lacks nothing. God alone suffices. Santa Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

Slide 3:

Música: Nada te turbe. Taizé Letra: Nada te turbe, nada te espante: Quien a Dios tiene nada le falta. Nada te turbe, nada te espante: Sólo Dios basta. (Se repite) 2ª voz Todo se pasa, Dios no se muda, La paciencia todo lo alcanza.

“be silent in the presence of the Lord…”

Slide 11:

Forget your words , your memories , your petitions , your plans ; Always keep your eyes on the Lord, listening to Him , without letting your inner voices distract you .

Slide 12:

Be in peace in His Presence , surrender to Him all your upsets , all your cares, all your worries ; forget them all , and forget yourself .

Slide 13:

Let go of all your attachments, be free of any desires, like a dry leaf blown about by the wind of the Spirit, empty of everything that is not God .

Slide 14:

Remain alone, with nothing else in your heart but God. May no creature come between your gazing at one another.

Slide 15:

Be without complaints, without annoyances, without strange “guests,” without anything that is not God.

Slide 16:

Be integral, remembering only God, not seeking human consolations, “buried” with Him and in Him, letting yourself disappear in order to make yourself a gift in His heart.

Slide 17:

Be not sad, Be not resentful, Let go of your pride, Let go of the false images of yourself .

Slide 18:

Listen to His Word, a nd may His Will be done in you .

Slide 19:

Be without powers, without privilegies , without honors, without idols, and let God be God in you .

Slide 20:

Remain in such a profound adoration that nothing may distract your attention, that neither sorrows nor joys may shatter your self-surrender to God…

Slide 21:

Be silent in the presence of the Lord, m ay you disappear s o that God may be and act in you .
