Series on Silence Vs. Noise (Part 2 of 2)
What’s the most prevalent voice that you hear in your life? Is it God’s or someone’s/something else?
We long to teach people how to pray, contemplative silence, inner recollection, and interior stillness are ways to live in a relationship with God. But, there’s a silver bullet to make people live in chaos and noise, exteriorly or interiorly. Every day, through general media, we are bombarded with chaos and noise, and there’s this turmoil all the time, both internal and external, that’s a direct attack on how God speaks and how He wants to give Himself. Today, in the next part of this mini-series, we’ll dive deeper into the importance and experience of silence and attempt to stir people’s hearts to recognize that this silence is under direct attack and identify ways to defend against these attacks.

The Rich Man Who Didn’t Turn
St. Francis is the rich young man who didn’t turn away sad. God invited St. Francis, and his response was even more than his heart burning for the Lord — he was consumed. There was no going back.
