Mother Siluana: What can I offer God?
Offer your nothingness to Him. You keep trying, as I do and as many of us do, to fill up this nothingness by pouring all kinds of trifles and little lies into it…
What can I offer Him when I have nothing?
Offer your nothingness to Him.
You keep trying, as I do and as many of us do, to fill up this nothingness by pouring all kinds of trifles and little lies into it…
Now try to stand as NOTHING in front of Him as often as possible.
Before you go to sleep in the evening,
after you wake up in the morning, and
every time you remember to do it during the day.
Enter into this nothingness that you are and stay there, empty and quiet, feeling as deeply as you can that you are nothing.
Don't receive any thoughts. Don't judge. Leave all judging to Him.
Be silent and offer this nothingness to Him! But offer it to Him, not to yourself or to the enemy.
You will learn how to do this through a certain movement of your soul, maybe not right away, but you will manage to do it after a few tries.
God made this immense and wonderful world out of nothing!
Dare to be nothing in His hands and not in your head!
—Mother Siluana
