Good article for those of us whose vocation is in the world. When one is living in silence for a time, one can hear God speaking to the heart.
“Almost everything about life in the modern world encourages a certain shallowness”
Thanks for making your premise at the earliest possible opportunity. It saves me time not having to read the rest of the article.
You may want to reflect on the source of your dislike of the world that you live in. It’s not a healthy attitude and it’s not a Catholic attitude.
That’s not how to read
Interesting. someone comes to this great blog, reads the ‘headlines’, does not go deeper into the reading, and bang! Jumps right into the band-wagon of judging people’s attitude, whether it’s a catholic one or not. Attaboy!
Homem, I’ve been reading this site for a long time. Guzman’s writings have a chronic theme of general dislike of the world at large, of a perceived Catholic-ness of withdrawing from society. It’s unfortunate and there’s really nothing Catholic about it.
Sam, Thanks so much for sharing these valuable thoughts. A great thing to contemplate this; as we enter the busy Holiday Season. Great job my friend 🙂
And, yet, nowhere can we find silence in our churches. Nowhere. If you ask any priest for his help in aiding silence at Mass, you will be looked at as if our deranged and taken to the woodshed and lectured on the rights of everyone at Mass to make to make prayer impossible. The anthem is noise at all costs all the time for all.
I greately appreciate the views of Maria, Ellis, Homem, & Ohams all of whom I believe understand the author and God exquisitly. Larry on the other hand………..his opinions are his opinions and demonstrate shallowness, misperception, and earthliness; about as low as the earth is below the heavens. “If the light that is within you is darkness, how very great will the darkness be.”
Phil, I don’t know what incited you to single me out for such a pointless personal attack, but I have nothing to apologize to you for. And my understanding is just as exquisit [sic] as anyone else’s.
Larry, Thanks for making your premise at the earliest possible opportunity. It saves me time not having to read the rest of your opinion. You may want to ‘reflect’ on what a hypocrite is.
Larry, no matter how hard I may try, I could never exceed the egotistical embarrassment duly self-inflicted on yourself by your first post. The author’s piece on ‘silence’ you rejected had much to offer you, but alas is trampled upon by your over-grown pride.
Gee Phil, you’re 2-for-2 on personal attacks now. All I’ve done is question the author’s underlying dissatsfaction with the world he lives in, which is a legitimate discussion of ideas. You can try to twist my words around, but you’ll only be embarrassing yourself further.
