Falling Awake

Falling Awake offers a reflection-one for each day of the year-to encourage individuals to seek out and to find those moments of quiet and solitude in which they can attune themselves to God's quiet voice. By drawing upon the insights and experiences of Fr. Mark Burger, author, the reflections in Falling Awake present a gradual and immersive way to grow closer to God. The pace of modern life is frantic, hectic, and frenetic. Falling Awake recognizes that most people live in precisely that reality. In response, the reflections suggest slowing down, reducing the volume, eliminating the distractions, and freeing one's ears to listen for that voice, the one from God that waits patiently for the right moment to speak softly in one's ear. When you are ready to listen, God will speak; this is the promise Falling Awake makes.
