time to flee to God!

05 Jan - Monday after Epiphany of the Lord
"Come now, little man! Flee for a while from your tasks, hide yourself for a little space from the turmoil of your thoughts. Come, cast aside your burdensom cares, and put aside your laborious pursuits. For a little while, give your time to God, and rest in him for a little while. Enter into the chamber of your mind, shut out all the things save God and whatever may aid you in seeking God; and having barred the door of your chamber, seek him." - St. Anselm of Canterbury
- Taken from "Quotes and Anecdotes - An Anthology for Preachers & Teachers" by Anthony P. Castle
what a timely reminder! but will my pile of lazy bones really get down to keeping quiet?
