Rest is the spiritual discipline of contentment and trust reflected in sabbath, solitude, silence, and simplicity.

“[T]hat they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ “
