Check out this awesome encore show from December 5, 2024 about the power of silence! 

Father Eric Nielsen joins Patrick to discuss Silence
Why is silence important?
(11:41) Vince - What is the connection between silence and Eucharistic adoration.  It seems like every time I try to be in silence, I'm distracted.
Marylou - It’s my middle name! I had a Carmelite spiritual director.  I told him I felt like crying during contemplative prayer. He said it's like driving down a 2 lane road with things in the back. When you put the brakes on, everything comes to the front.  I thought it was a beautiful metaphor.

(23:37) Break 1
Why do we tend to reject silence in our lives?
(28:21) John - Balance between going out and building skill sets and achieving that silence in daily living.  Hobbies - you get adrenaline rushes over certain hobbies.  What is the proper balance between this and contemplation?

(35:39) Break 2
Patrick shares several emails asking about silence
(39:59) what are some good practical ways to develop silence in our life?
Grace - I worked in healthcare for 40 years. When you're working in that field, you have to do everything in succession.  I started going to church after retiring.  I started counting due to what I was used to.  Moved to the front row to remove that distraction.  I have a prayer book that is marked up and it's my workbook.
