God is concealed deep within the heart of every human being, for each of us is made “in his image.” If we have childlike faith in this, it should not be hard to believe that it is he whose voice directs us out of the darkness to freedom and light. Yet how, against the clamor of other voices that vie for our attention, can we find the inner quiet we need in order to hear him?

God needs nothing more than this: that we give him a quiet heart.
