March Reflection from Brother Domenic

"In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think they will be heard because of their many words." Matthew 6:7

Everything started with words. God spoke: let there be light and time, land and life. The universe took shape from simple commands. In an economy of words, God created everything.
