Silence

In this talk I discuss a beautiful post by a Franciscan priest, Father Richard Rohr on the cac.org website: https://cac.org/naturally-indwelling-2020-01-10/. The title is Naturally Indwelling, and is adapted from an article by Father Rohr: Silent Compassion: Finding God in Contemplation (Franciscan Media: 2014), 46-47. Some related questions: What does inner silence feel like? What does it accomplish? How do we find silence in our busy, outwardly directed lives? Think of the purpose or goal of silence to be nothing more than absolute rest-resting in the arms of God. Going nowhere, doing nothing, becoming nothing, expecting nothing. Simply resting in this, exactly as it is. Letting go and letting God be in charge for a while. What could be better?
