Silent Prayer - The Inner Life - December 17, 2025 [ENCORE]

The Inner Life

Check out this encore show from December 4, 2025 Fr. Michael-Joseph Paris joins Patrick in studio to discuss Silent Prayer * What is he language of God? * (8:42) Jan - Silence. There is a silence that exists after the guests go home. There is joy when guests come and the silence after they leave is saddening. Can you help me appreciate this more? * (13:14) silence as an invitation to prayer * (15:39) Judy - I thought I was going to go mad during silent Adoration. I thought I could find comfort but could not. Can you help? (19:50) Break 1 * (21:05) Email from MT – Why do sins seem to become really profound when I am in silence and especially before receiving the Eucharist? * Maureen - I wonder if the devil is trying to disquiet people in adoration who have trouble with silence? * (26:57)  Ben - I am a seminarian. I want to share that silence has helped with my vocation and discernment. I would not be here without it. * (31:17) Nicole - I wanted to go on a Silent Retreat but now have to cancel. I find it hard to put myself in silence. How can I make a spiritual retreat for myself. (36:51) Break 2 * Mark - Talking about silence. My grandfather starting going on silent retreats during the 1950s. We used to go on a yearly silent retreat. Some years I couldn’t wait to talk but other years I couldn't wait. * (43:16) David - Going to Adoration really trained me to be in the Presence of the Lord. * What is the correlation of creating space in our hearts for silence and making room for our Lord?
