"You will succeed in all you do, and light will shine on your path." - Job 22:28 You know how when you walk into a Cathedral it's so quiet, that the quiet echoes? The silence echoes. That's how it is here right now. It's as quiet as His tomb, as empty as His tomb. Match My empty. Match My Silence. Feel His Love there. The air you think you're breathing is Love. Love that inhale. Love that exhale. He loves you. You can trust him. Tell Him you're scared. Tell Him to help you. Pray, 'save me, I need you. This is hard." And then linger in the Silence. Listen for Him in the Silence. Tell Him you're listening for Him in the Silence. I feel for Him in and AS the Silence, and I find Him every time.

She is entirely absorbed by contemplation, adoration, and prayer. She hides herself in Her Son; She exists only in Her Son. She disappears in Her Son (.) The attitude of Mary is that of listening. She is completely turned to the word of the Son. Mary does not speak. She simply wants to submit to God like a trusting child. Her fiat is tot a I and joyful.

Our modern world is wildly technocratic and its essential religion is rapidly becoming a mix of scientism and consumerism. As such, there has never been a more important time to stand against this dark tide by a return to the deepest meaning of what it is to be human. In this episode I explore a beautiful quote from Robert Cardinal Sarah that reminds us of the crucial importance of prayer, Eucharistic Adoration and why mystery is something we need to ever more deeply engage with, accept and value.

Church of the Magdalen - Fr. Derek Thome - Year B "Authentic moral conduct is the reflection of the One whom I have received in my heart, and he is defined by his love, perfection, sanctity, and goodness." - Robert Cardinal Sarah "John Paul II himself explained that the path (hodos; Greek for path - reference today's Gospel "along the way") marked out by the divine Law is not a moral police ordinance, but the mind of God." - Robert Cardinal Sarah (my own emphasis added) Both from the Book: God or Nothing

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Four people were killed in Myanmar on Monday, after the Burmese army shelled a Catholic church. Hundreds of people had sought refuge in the church amid clashes between the military and a group called the People's Defense Force. Vatican News reported that all those killed and injured were Catholics. English Catholic bishops are warning against a proposed bill, that would legalize assisted suicide in the United Kingdom. The bill would make assisted suicide available to those who are terminally ill, with a diagnosis of six months or less. England's bishops have said a true culture of caring protects the sick, vulnerable and elderly. Dioceses in the state of New York are updating their COVID-19 guidelines. Parishes in Brooklyn and Queens are now open to full capacity. Parishes in the Archdiocese of New York will again be using collection baskets, physical bulletins, and hymnals in churches. Pope Francis has reportedly hinted that there will soon be a new head of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship. The position has been vacant since February, when the pope accepted the retirement of Robert Cardinal Sarah. Projected candidates include two Italian bishops and an English archbishop. Today is the feast of Saint Bede, an English priest, monk, and scholar. Saint Bede is remembered for his personal holiness and intellectual brilliance. He is a doctor of the Church.
This week's episode is about the healing power of silence. I share a part of my journey into the discovery of silence and the gifts we can find there. I also share some practical tips you can use each day to start a practice into finding silence in your life and how it can provide healing.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis may soon appoint a new head of the Congregation for the Divine Worship and the Discipline of Sacraments. Several sources in Rome have told Catholic News Agency the appointment may take place before the Feast of the Ascension, on May 13th. Robert Cardinal Sarah led the Congregation until February, when Pope Francis accepted his resignation. It is rumored that a bishop of a diocese in Northern Italy could be appointed to lead the congregation. A bishop in Spain is asking Catholics around the world to join him in prayer for the Catholic Church in Germany. Members of the Church in Germany have planned an event, on May 10, to offer blessings for same-sex partners. Several priests, deacons, pastoral workers, and even some bishops, will reportedly participate in the event. The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said in March that the Church does not have the power to bless same-sex unions. And finally, the bishop of Allentown in Pennsylvania has proclaimed a jubilee year to promote greater dedication to the Holy Eucharist. The Year of the Real Presence began on Divine Mercy Sunday. It will end on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, in 2022. The jubilee also coincides with the 60th anniversary of the diocese of Allentown. A recent Pew Research study found that only thirty-one percent of U.S. Catholics believe that the bread and wine used in the Eucharist become the Body and Blood of Jesus. This is a fundamental teaching, central to the Catholic faith.
Why I Can't Focus And Get Clarity My wife and I were at a gala recently...it was a socially distant, sparse crowd celebrating the culture-changing work of Martin Luther King Jr. A business owner came up to me and said, “I’m reading your book and want you to know that I feel like you are writing directly to me.” Curious, I asked, “what's in the book made you feel that way?” Her response, “I’m in constant chaos.” We regularly poll our clients and those who attend our in-person live events and online workshops and the number one piece of feedback we receive from business owners and key leaders is, “I cannot focus.” Focus is an interesting word that carries with it the ideas of clarity, center, core, or bull’s eye. We blame the current culture of screens, screams, and scram. The truth is we don’t have to scroll the devices (screens). We don’t have to turn on the news and noise (screams). We don’t have to do everything we have been invited to do (scram). Hundreds of years ago the word focus was synonymous w/ a fireplace in a home... a hearth that was the center of the room where people gather. I love a (controlled) fire. Honestly, one of my favorite places on earth may be wherever there is an outdoor fire that we can stare at. I’ve heard it called “nature’s tv”. It’s true. I cannot stop staring, constantly stoking this dancing stage of contorted and vivid flames; never the same shape or rhythm and yet in constant motion. Business owners tell us they feel like they are constantly trying to put out little fires that always exist. But what if those “little fires” are not threats to the business, but instead are lights along the path towards the vision that has been laid out. What if those are fires not meant to be extinguished, but instead meant to light the path to the real destination. We cannot focus because we do not want to put in the effort to focus. Please don’t be offended, but for most of us (save our first responders whose job is to intentionally respond to chaos), we react to chaos because it makes us feel needed; harrowed. Robert Cardinal Sarah in his book The Power Of Silence says, “Without noise (chaos), man is feverish, lost. Noise gives him security, like a drug on which he has become dependent…noise is a whirlwind that avoids facing itself.” We get to tell people when they ask how we’re doing, “I’ve just been so busy.” Busy is not envied. Busy is not the goal. Helpful, meaningful, transformational, impactful, useful….those are worthy goals. Busy is... busy. How do we stop succumbing to busy, loosen our addiction with the “feeling needed” that chaos brings and instead be content in who we have been made to be? We need to introduce more silence into our day-to-day. Sarah goes on to say, “Without the capacity for silence, man is incapable of hearing, loving, and understanding the people around him. Clarity is born of silence.” Clarity is born of silence. Do you want clarity? You will need to make more time for silence that Sarah contends leads to a heart “that is able to hear, to listen, and to welcome.” One you go silent, all the sudden you will begin to hear the things that truly matter instead of just the things that are busy. Silence used to be a societal value, now noise has assumed the podium. You can take it back... and gain the clarity you are looking for.

How To Make Time For Everything Amidst the various equalities throughout our world; wealth, culture, educational opportunities, food security, etc., there lies one resource that will always be provided in equal measure. Time. Every week our clock resets with 168 units (hours) of time that systematically tick off each second for 604,800 consecutive beats. Tick. Tick. Tick. Edward called me last week and asked simply, “why does Cynthia stay till 630 every night to get her work done? Every week, she is logging overtime in a role that has never needed over time.” Business owners around the world are asking, “how do I make time for everything?” Key leaders and employees ask the same, “how do we make time for everything?” Before we suggest a helpful strategy, it is first crucial that we dive into why we can’t seem to make time for everything. The answer lies somewhere within the not-so-forgotten path of silence. During the year 2020 the American culture played its part in a pandemic that was plagued by rhythmless noise without the solid drumbeat of coordination, vision, and planning. Within that pandemic lodged a feverish height of social, political, and racial topsyterviness. The beginning of 2021 did not relent as the Government spiraled in response to an insurrection within the Capital building fueled at the highest level of power. The headline for each evening news program became a ping pong match of interchangeable breaking news revolving between COVID and protests. Over time, although both were incredibly serious and important, the coverage became noise...not sound, not information...noise. Interesting to look at the evolution of the word noise. It is said to have meant “quarreling” in the Middle English voice. More insightful, though is the Latin room that noise is birthed out of... nausea. You know that green feeling you get when you are on a boat in the ocean and it just won’t stop pitching and yawing? That is what incessant noise does to us. It nauseates the mind. It causes a seasickness of sorts for the brain that creates a fog where our only goal is to stop feeling sick. I heard recently a couple say this of the importance of our physical health, “when you are healthy you have a thousand dreams, but when you are ill you have but one dream.” Why can’t we make time for everything at work? Why can’t we make time for everything at home? Why can’t we make time for everything regarding our hobbies, interests, and relationships? We have mind-nausea in response to the breaking news of everything. We have only one next step...turn the noise off and embrace intentional silence. In his reflective book The Power Of Silence, Robert Cardinal Sarah writes, “Without noise, man is feverish, lost. Noise gives him security, like a drug on which he has become dependent. With its festive appearance, noise is a whirlwind that avoids facing itself.” Sarah goes on to write, “Agitation becomes a tranquilizer, a sedative, a morphine pump...But this noise is dangerous, deceptive medicine, a diabolic lie that helps man avoid confronting himself in his interior emptiness. The awakening will necessarily be brutal.” Wow, “noise is a whirlwind that avoids facing itself.” Why can’t I make time for everything? Because we do not want to do the hard work of facing ourselves...facing our real work. It is so much easier to bang out some emails in the name of work. It is so much easier to watch a tutorial video in the name of work. It is so much easier to do the easier thing in the name of work. It is so much easier to listen to the latest, loudest voice asking us to do something that seemed important in the moment, just to find out it was another distraction along the neon-lit path of noise. Noise to me is a lot like Vegas; a lot of lights, a lot of motion, a lot of activity, a lot of busy… And a lot of regret. All the while noise rages and the important work gets left undone. Still, Blaise Pascal’s quote remains one of my favorites, “All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot sit quietly in their own homes.” Noise is hitting refresh on the news site. Noise is scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. Noise is a life on auto-piloted repeat with no thought of stopping or interjecting. Noise is whatever is taking you from your real work. In one of the great parenting moments in history, Manoah, a Jewish father at the time that Israel was led by a series of judges, asks God, “what is the mission of this child to be?” In other words, what is the important work you have created this child to carry out? That is my question for you today, what is the important work that you have been created to carry out? It might be bookkeeping, teaching, sweeping, coordinating, calling, documenting, estimating, bidding, flying, diagnosing, or calming. Noise will most certainly keep you from that important work and lock you into a nauseating diet of ick. The question remains, how do you make time for everything? You don’t. Instead, make time for the things that matter...and not everything matters. We train our heroic business owners and key leaders to build a simple ideal weekly schedule. If you were to list out all of the important work that you need to tackle each week, what is it and how long would each task take? Block it all out throughout a weekly calendar in what Cal Newport would call “deep work” blocks of time. Share that weekly schedule with the people that matter most and ask their permission to help you live by it. Cut out the noise. Cut out the nausea. Get healthy and all of the sudden you will have a thousand dreams...instead of just one.
How To Make Time For Everything Amidst the various equalities throughout our world; wealth, culture, educational opportunities, food security, etc., there lies one resource that will always be provided in equal measure. Time. Every week our clock resets with 168 units (hours) of time that systematically tick off each second for 604,800 consecutive beats. Tick. Tick. Tick. Edward called me last week and asked simply, “why does Cynthia stay till 630 every night to get her work done? Every week, she is logging overtime in a role that has never needed over time.” Business owners around the world are asking, “how do I make time for everything?” Key leaders and employees ask the same, “how do we make time for everything?” Before we suggest a helpful strategy, it is first crucial that we dive into why we can't seem to make time for everything. The answer lies somewhere within the not-so-forgotten path of silence. During the year 2020 the American culture played its part in a pandemic that was plagued by rhythmless noise without the solid drumbeat of coordination, vision, and planning. Within that pandemic lodged a feverish height of social, political, and racial topsyterviness. The beginning of 2021 did not relent as the Government spiraled in response to an insurrection within the Capital building fueled at the highest level of power.

In this episode, Dylan and Nick talk about why we need more silence in our lives. Many of the ideas discussed are based on the book, The Power of Silence by Robert Cardinal Sarah as well as the Bible.
Has your physical, emotional and mental well being fallen by the wayside during all this change and uncertainty? As a people leader, you need to be your best self so you can lead others. Paying extra attention to your own well being is always a good idea. In this episode, we share our top seven strategies from our Leadership Essentials program that help you do just that. Episode highlights: An introduction to our Leadership Essentials Program. Six modules, with a new one released every two weeks, and group coaching taking place every second week. Our physicality is about our capacity to expand and recover energy and is defined by the amount of energy we have. The importance of sleep and why it should be a priority Between the hours of 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM, the brain and body is at its peak rejuvenation cycle. Set up your environment for a good night's sleep - make sure your room is around 17-18 degrees. Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do to keep your energy levels up. Jan's secret ‘prime tea' to help her stay hydrated and curb cravings for caffeine - a mixture of boiling water and CCF seeds (cumin, coriander and fennel). The ideal number of cups of water per day for women is 11. Nitric oxide - a secret weapon when we breathe. Why we all need to learn to breathe through our noses more, especially when we're sleeping. The importance of breathing exercises that we share in our Leadership Essentials Program. Mental health is all about how you focus your energy. The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Toy Schwartz: They say that nothing so interferes with performance and engagement as the inability to concentrate on the task at hand. And in order to perform at our best, we must be able to sustain concentration and then move flexibly between broad and narrow, as well as internal and external focus. Practice self-reflection to improve your energy focus - look inwards to learn more about yourself and what you need. Is the way you talk to yourself disempowering you? The words we use create our environment and experiences. Did you know we all have around 60 to 80,000 thoughts a day and most of them are negative? The three ways to become more aware of yourself through self-talk and how to improve your thoughts. Why we all need to practice being silent to give our brain a rest from the noise. Purposeful silence is a real opportunity for you to top up your mental energy. The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise by Robert Cardinal Sarah, says: “Without the capacity for silence, man is incapable of hearing, loving, and understanding the people around him.” Look after your emotional wellbeing by looking after the quality of your energy. Self-care isn't about being selfish. It looks different to different people, but unless you can fill your cup up first, you won't have a lot to give to others. Is there something you can do to take care of your emotions today? Can you learn to say yes to yourself and your needs? Inject some fun and creativity into your days - cook from scratch, tell a joke to your family at the dinner table, or use your skills to garden or paint. Join us for our Leadership Essentials Program, where we share these seven key strategies and more to improve your physical, emotional and mental well being as a people leader.

Episode 7: Celibacy - Summary: In this episode we discussed the history of celibacy in the Church, from Jewish roots in 1st century Palestine up to the Second Lateran Council in the high middle ages. Celibacy in some form seems to exist in the apostolic and early church. So too did the ordination of married men. The debates are what the situation looked like: was celibacy required for all priests after ordination, even married ones? Did married priests separate from their wives, live Josephite marriage with them, or continue to have sexual relations with them? How did it come to the point that different parts of the Church developed different practices? The Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient historians show that some members of the Jewish sect known as the Essenes practiced celibacy. The Levitical priesthood also abstained from sexual relations with their wives during their service in the temple. The New Testament must be understood in this context, where sexual continence and even a more monastic form of celibate life were already known. As we stated in the episode, we tried to carefully limit our theological discussion. But for your reference, here are some of the key Bible passages to be aware of: • 1 Samuel 221:4-5- David and his men eat the bread of the presence, having assured Ahimelek the priest that they have "kept themselves from women." • Luke 4:38-39 - Jesus heals Simon Peter's mother in law. This episode indicates Peter was married at some point, but it is unknown if he was a widower or still married. • Matthew 19:12 - "For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others--and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." • Matthew 19:29 - "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life." • Philippians 4:3 - Paul asks his "yoke mate," to help resolve a conflict between some Christian women named in the letter to the Philippians. Some see this as a reference to Paul's wife. • 1 Corinthians 7:8 - "Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." • 1 Timothy 4:3 - Paul tells Timothy that prohibiting people from getting married is a sign of false teachers. • 1 Timothy 3:1-2 - Paul tells Timothy that overseers (bishops) should be, "husband of one wife." Some church fathers see this as a negative criteria; in other words, bishops must not be husband of more than one wife, since remarrying may have suggested a lack of sexual self-discipline in their culture. Celibacy in the early Church seems to have been connected with the Eucharistic celebration, not the ascetic ideals of monasticism which emerged a little later. This being the case, the practice may ultimately be traceable back to the Jewish roots of Christianity and is not as likely to be derived from sects that were against marriage or despised the body. Church fathers drew parallels between the Old Testament high priests, priests and Levites, and the bishops, presbyters, and deacons of the New Testament. That said, we have to largely infer the practice of the early church in the 2nd and 3rd centuries indirectly. Based on the statements of local councils in the 4th century, as Jesuit scholar Christian Cochini explains, it seems that the likely expected practice was for priests to separate from their wives or live chastely with them following ordination. This was not practiced consistently in reality, prompting numerous councils to reiterate the discipline expected for deacons, priests and bishops. In the West, local councils such as the Council of Elvira, held around 305 in what is now Granada, Spain unequivocally called for priests to abstain from sexual relations with their wives after ordination. It was followed by other local councils in Arles and Carthage (390). The first ecumenical council, the Council of Nicaea in 325, may have touched on the issue as well in its ambiguous third canon. Some excerpts from these councils read as follows: • Council of Elvira (circa 305), Canon 33: "It has seemed good absolutely to forbid the bishops, the priests, and the deadons, i.e. all the clerics in the service of the ministry, to have [sexual] relations with their wives and procreate children; should anyone do so, let him be excluded from the honor of the clergy." (Cochini, p. 159). • *Council of Nicaea (325), Canon 3 *"On the women who live with clerics": "The great Council has absolutely forbidden bishops, priests, and deacons - in other words, all the members of the clergy - to have with them a sister-companion with the exception of a mother, a sister, an aunt, or, lastly, only those persons who are beyond any suspicion." (Cochini, p. 185) • Council of Carthage (390): "Bishop Genethlius says: As was previously said, it is fitting that the holy bishops and priests of God as well as the Levites, i.e., those who are in the service of the divine sacraments, observe perfect continence, so that they may obtain in all simplicity what they are asking from God; what the apostles taught and what antiquity itself observed, let us also endeavor to keep. "The bishops declared unanimously: It pleases us all that bishop, priest, and deacon, guardians of purity, abstain from [conjugal intercourse] with their wives, so that those who serve at the altar may keep a perfect chastity."(Cochini, p. 5) • 2nd Council of Arles (442-506) Canon 2: "One cannot elevate to the priesthood a man bound by marriage unless he has first converted to continence." Canon 3: "If a cleric, starting for order of the diaconate, dates to take with him a woman to 'console himself,' let him be rejected from communion. An exception is to be made for his grandmother [mother], sister, niece, or a wife who has converted [to continence]. If she refuses to separate [from the cleric], the woman will also be punished in the same way." (compare with Canon 3 form Nicaea). (Cochini, p. 273). But what did the fathers of Nicaea mean? Were priests' wives included or excluded from the category of women allowed to still live with priests? One Byzantine historian said that a respected confessor named Paphnutius intervened to convince the council not to impose celibacy on married priests. Yet Norman Tanner, in his book The Councils of the Church, notes that some scholars believe the canon refers not to celibacy at all, but to the scandalous practice of some religious teachers living with their female disciples, as Paul of Samosata notoriously did (Tanner, 38). As centuries past and the middle ages dawned, amidst widespread upheaval, differences emerged between Eastern and Western practice. One attempt at reform and compromise in recognition of the status quo in some regards for the Eastern church occurred at the Qunisext Council, also called the Council in Trullo (held in 691). Today it remains foundational for Eastern canon law. The full text of Canon 13 from Trullo reads: • " *Canon 13: *"Since we know it to be handed down as a rule of the Roman Church that those who are deemed worthy to be advanced to the diaconate or presbyterate should promise no longer to cohabit with their wives, we, preserving the ancient rule and apostolic perfection and order, will that the lawful marriages of men who are in holy orders be from this time forward firm, by no means dissolving their union with their wives nor depriving them of their mutual intercourse at a convenient time. Wherefore, if anyone shall have been found worthy to be ordained subdeacon, or deacon, or presbyter, he is by no means to be prohibited from admittance to such a rank, even if he shall live with a lawful wife. Nor shall it be demanded of him at the time of his ordination that he promise to abstain from lawful intercourse with his wife: lest we should affect injuriously marriage constituted by God and blessed by his presence, as the Gospel says: "What God has joined together let no man put asunder;" and the Apostle says, "Marriage is honourable and the bed undefiled;" and again, "Are you bound to a wife? Seek not to be loosed." But we know, as they who assembled at Carthage (with a care for the honest life of the clergy) said, that subdeacons, who handle the Holy Mysteries, and deacons, and presbyters should abstain from their consorts according to their own course [of ministration]. So that what has been handed down through the Apostles and preserved by ancient custom, we too likewise maintain, knowing that there is a time for all things and especially for fasting and prayer. For it is meet that they who assist at the divine altar should be absolutely continent when they are handling holy things, in order that they may be able to obtain from God what they ask in sincerity. "If therefore anyone shall have dared, contrary to the Apostolic Canons, to deprive any of those who are in holy orders, presbyter, or deacon, or subdeacon of cohabitation and intercourse with his lawful wife, let him be deposed. In like manner also if any presbyter or deacon on pretence of piety has dismissed his wife, let him be excluded from communion; and if he persevere in this let him be deposed." Despite maintaining that celibacy even for married priests was the norm, various social and political factors combined with lack of priestly formation continued to cause this norm to not be followed consistently in the West either well into the middle ages. But whereas the Council in Trullo had allowed married priests to continue to have sex with their wives, the Gregorian Reformers and Second Lateran Council (1139) took the opposite approach. Desiring to enforce canon law and a vision of apostolic life, as well as crack down hard on the entanglement of the clergy in the secular feudal order, Lateran II forbade the ordination of married men, prohibited anyone from claiming a position in the church as their inheritance, and forbade the faithful to attend the masses of married priests. It is important to remember that these canons were part of a larger reform program which also targeted simony and lay investiture in an effort to fight corruption and scandal in the Church. Lateran II (1139): • Canon 6 - "We also decree that those who in the subdiaconate and higher orders have contracted marriage or have concubines, be deprived of their office and ecclesiastical benefice. For since they should be and be called the temple of God, the vessel of the Lord, the abode of the Holy Spirit, it is unbecoming that they indulge in marriage and in impurities." • Canon 16 - "It is beyond doubt that ecclesiastical honors are bestowed not in consideration of blood relationship but of merit, and the Church of God does not look for any successor with hereditary rights, but demands for its guidance and for the administration of its offices upright, wise, and religious persons. Wherefore, in virtue of our Apostolic authority we forbid that anyone appropriate or presume to demand on the plea of hereditary right churches, prebends, deaneries, chaplaincies, or any ecclesiastical offices. If anyone, prompted by dishonesty or animated by ambition, dare attempt this, he shall be duly punished and his demands disregarded." You can read about the Church's current teaching on clerical celibacy in paragraphs 1579 and 1580 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

During last week's interview, our guest Jonny asked what we as a common Christian church can do to reach out to those who have drifted from Christianity due to lack of engagement or perceived lack of modern relevance. This week, the boys channel their inner Herm Edwards in their response. Eric speaks about two common phrases in sports today (“Winning is all that matters” and “It doesn't matter if you win, just how you play the game”). He lays out how and why those two phrases are not only misguided but also detrimental to the very purpose of sports, and what all of this has to do with modern Christianity, which has, by the boys' estimation, been failing to “play to win the game.”Recommended Reads: The Day is Now Far Spent, Robert Cardinal Sarah; The Habit of Being, Flannery O'Connor.

On Wednesday, January 16, 2019, host Pam Marvin invited Sr. Tatum McWhirter of the Apostles of the Interior Life to discuss the need for silence in our lives.

Join Trevor on this solo journey through silence. "All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber." - Blaise Pascal "Agitation becomes a tranquilizer, a sedative, a morphine pump, a sort of reverie, an incoherent dream-world. But this noise is a dangerous, deceptive medicine, a diabolic lie that helps man avoid confronting himself in his interior emptiness. The awakening will necessarily be brutal." - Robert Cardinal Sarah "From morning to evening, from evening to morning, silence no longer has any place at all; the noise tries to prevent God himself from speaking. In this hell of noise, man disintegrates and is lost; he is broken up into countless worries, fantasies, and fears. In order to get out of these depressing tunnels, he desperately awaits noise so that it will bring him a few consolations. Noise is a deceptive, addictive, and false tranquilizer. The tragedy of our world is never better summed up than in the fury of senseless noise that stubbornly hates silence. This age detests the things that silence brings us to: encounter, wonder, and kneeling before God." - Robert Cardinal Sarah "To refuse silence filled with confident fear and adoration is to refuse God the freedom to take hold of us by his love and presence." - Robert Cardinal Sarah Resource - The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise by Robert Cardinal Sarah Song Credit: Star Visions Of A Champ (KieLoKaz ID 103) by KieLoBot Website: https://wedaretosay.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wedaretosay/
