Tonight, Let the Teachings of Jesus Quiet Your Heart

Today we enter the stillness of night, receiving the teachings of Jesus as God’s Word quiets anxious thoughts and leads us into peace. Beginning with Matthew 6 and continuing through John 14, Psalm 4, Matthew 11, and John 15, the opening sequence moves from releasing worry toward rest, trust, and abiding love. On October 6, we remember Saint Bruno of Cologne, who in 1084 established a community with six companions in the Chartreuse Mountains centered on solitude, prayer, and silence. His contemplative witness reflects the universal Christian invitation to become still and receive peace through the Word.
