Dear Fellow Pilgrim,

Thank you for answering a call to "come away to a quiet place and rest awhile" (Mk 6:31). A good way to respond to this divine invitation is to get as much rest as you can, given your present rhythm of life. Gift yourself with a few occasions of the following 3-minutes of pause and quiet.

If you have more time and energy or have attended previous silent retreats, try this extended reflection.
