The Terrible Silence (Dec 8, 2013)

St. John the Baptist’s message came out of the silence of the dessert.  Silence can be challenging.  Why is it so hard for us just to be with ourselves?  Have we become unaccustomed to the voice of God?  Silence helps us come to know ourselves.  Only when we know where we are can we have the road to God pointed out to us.
