Confidence

Sitting in the church in the morning, ready to to offer penitential service to anyone who wanted to reconcile himself/herself with God before the Holy Mass, I had an ample time, as always in those minutes preceding the liturgy, to think about the importance of the gift of listening to others and the gift of total confidence and privacy, so basic, so important in my vocation, and yet - in any relationship between people.

Silentium Sacrum

The last, third day of the seminar here in Bura in Taita Hills in Kenya. And immediately after the seminar, we will start a week-long retreat for the same participants, right here, in the same venue. But what a difference it will make to move from the seminar setup to retreat seclusion. Same room, same conference hall, same chapel, same dining hall. But...the absolute silence will make for a totally new, intense experience for us all.
