Embracing Silence for Spiritual Growth During Lent

Homily from the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Silence reveals our hearts and silence trains our hearts.

As we enter into the place of training, we realize that there are certain things that reveal the condition of our hearts...trial, tribulation, speech, and silence. But we need to consciously enter into these if we are going to know ourselves and be trained in the way of Christ.
