Holy Solitude Quotes

“Being alone sounds sad, aimless, or lonely, to hear ads or memes describe it. Solitude, however, is chosen and purposeful. It isn’t loneliness, but the practice of a deep integrity. It’s learning to be present to God wholeheartedly, as your true and simple self. Richard Foster wrote, “Loneliness is inner emptiness. Solitude is inner fulfillment.”
