Let us never forget the sweetness of solitude. That inner yearning for the voice of The Lord in the wilderness. That day after day withdrawal to the mountain passes of The Almighty which is food for thy soul. True Christians often find loneliness a companion that brings them to interaction with God. A loneliness which is never quite drowned out by the noise of human friendship. May we never forget the blessing and importance of such holy seclusion and may we always follow the way of Jesus, who “often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” (Luke 5:16).

Call us, God, from the wilderness

Call us, Lord, from the seas

Call us, Father, from the mountains

Bring us, Savior, to our knees
