Here’s What They Chatted About:



Why Silence is a Game-Changer:



Patrick and Fr. Illo dive into why silence is so crucial for deepening our faith.



Fr. Illo shares this beautiful nugget from St. Mother Teresa: "Only in the silence of the heart, God speaks." 🌿



It turns out, silence isn't just about being quiet. It’s about creating a space where God can fill us up with His presence.



Paul’s Inspiring Story:



Hear a heartfelt call from Paul in Friendship, Wisconsin. Paul opened up about how silence has been key in his recovery journey from addiction.



He takes two 20-minute breaks each day to just sit in God’s presence and listen.



Paul’s story is such a powerful reminder of how quiet moments can bring strength and healing. 🙏



Hearing God’s Call:



Fr. Illo shared a story about a young man discerning his vocation. He spent three hours a day in silence before the Blessed Sacrament for nine months and eventually felt a clear call to the priesthood.



Fr. Illo stresses that noise is the biggest enemy of vocations. It’s like, how can we hear God calling if we’re always surrounded by noise? 📞



How We Can Practice Silence:



Patrick and Fr. Illo encourage us to carve out silent moments in our daily routines.



These quiet times help us discern God’s will and feel His guidance more clearly.



It’s a great reminder that even with our busy lives, making time for silence can lead to profound spiritual growth. 🌟
