Silence…the Language of God, with Deacon Rusty Baldwin, OCDS

Carmelite Conversations

Silence is golden. We have often heard that phrase. Silence is really a deep Bible truth. In this presentation, Deacon Baldwin will address that truth and point out the use of silence in prayer and particularly in the life of contemplatives and the gift of contemplation in prayer. He addresses the questions: “Should I give up all vocal prayer and only strive for silence in prayer?” “What Scripture passage helps me understand this point?” “How do I grow in silence in prayer?” “What book does he recommend to help us?”
