The Inner Life - August 06, 2024 - Silence

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.
