Silence

The holidays provide opportunity to engage in other activities that we do not have time for in the business of our lives. Many of us will have made plans in advanced to ensure we have something to do for every day. However, how many of us have made time for silence these holidays? In fact, when was the last time we sat in silence or encouraged our children to practice silence?

“Silence is the environmental condition most conducive to contemplation, to listening to God and to meditation. The very fact of enjoying silence and letting ourselves be "filled", so to speak, with silence, disposes us to prayer… God speaks in silence, but we must know how to listen.” (Pope Benedict XVI, General Audience, Castel Gandolfo, 2011)

This school holidays let us recognise the importance of silence and take the time to include it in our daily life.
