Silence. Is it something we sometimes yearn for?
Is silence just the absence of noise, or is there something deeper that defines silence – something we’d do well to understand, contemplate, or invite into our lives? When it comes to the real power of silence, does the peace stem simply from the quiet?
Spending many months in isolation and quiet, many began to re-appreciate the value of silence. This video challenges our thinking about the role of silence in the Eucharist and it is a timely reminder as we anticipate the quiet joy and peace that Christmas might bring after all the rush and bustle of the pre-Christmas preparations. It runs for just on 20 minutes, so grab a cup and sit quietly for this short space in time. You may find that you experience your Christmas mass in a new way.
