Singapore in 1822 - The city was then ruled by the five kings of ancient Singapura. Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula,
the natural meeting point of sea routes, the city flourished as a trading post for vessels such as Chinese junks, Arab dhows, Portuguese battleships, and Buginese schooners.

God speaks in the silence of our heart.
Mother Theresa
Reflection: Our Lady speaks of prayer with the heart and the tremendous grace it gives. Perhaps the highest form of this prayer is the "prayer of quiet" or "centering prayer," in which we experience God in the very depths of our being. To experience this prayer, the following guidelines will be helpful:
A. Choose a place where you can be alone without distraction. Take a comfortable bodily position, close your eyes, and put everything out of your mind.
B. Physically relax and let all tensions leave you. Deep, deliberate breathing will aid this process. Let your total being, mind and body, arrive at a gentle silence.
C. Center all your attention on God and let a word or phrase form in your consciousness. You can use "Jesus," or "Jesus, have mercy," or "Come Holy Spirit," or whatever else will relate you to the Lord.
D. The word or phrase may be repeated often or interspersed with periods of complete silence. This is your way of reaching out for and receiving the Lord.
E. Your prayer should end slowly and quietly. You may wish to recite and Our Father or Hail Mary meditatively. On occasion the Lord may invite you to a deeper silence or listening and you will come to know the joy of His Spirit in fullest measure.
Without silence, God disappears in the noise.
And the noise becomes all the more obsessive because God is absent.
Unless the world rediscovers silence, it is lost.
