The Inner Life

Father Joseph Illo joins Patrick to discuss Silence * How does silence relate to the transfiguration? * (9:47) Why down fill our life with noise? * (15:57) Steve - I just finished my silent retreat; it was my 20th.  It's always such a blessing. (19:02) Break 1 * What are some practical ways people can grow in silence? * (26:54) - Paul - The only way you could discern God's will for you is through silence.  Jesus went away to be alone w/God the Father and he discerned the will of God in his life.  And that's so true. * Silence in discerning the will of God. * James - Role of Holy Spirit in creating silence.  There's man-made silence, like during the liturgy.  When you go through the cycle of worship like in Psalm 95, then it turns to silence and far more fruitful. (37:57) Break 2 * Marilyn - Question: I try to have silence, but is my silence is the kind.  I'm thinking silence is not having anything in my mind and having the Lord put something in there. * (43:17) Joshua - Is it okay to read the Lives of the Saints or Catechism during adoration hour in front of the sacrament? * Jan writes into the Inner Life asking how to interact with each other in a family environment more.
