The Screaming Room

My cousin Mary sent me this quote, which I wanted to share with you.

The Hassidic Jews have a custom of going out into an open field at night to cry out all their doubts and questions to God, to go down to the basic level of their faith. Possibly Jesus was doing that at Gethsemane. Today we may well take the advice of the mother of a dying child who suggested that every hospital should have not only a chapel, but a screaming- room. Perhaps this should be the anteroom to the chapel, as in our hearts we have to go through the earthquake and the whirlwind before we are able to hear the still, small voice.   Carol R. Murphy  1977
