Battle for Silence - Advent Reflection - Fr. Patrick Hyde - 1 of 2
Fr. Patrick Hyde, O.P. discusses the Church Fathers' teaching on the need to strive and battle for silence in our life in order to grow in holiness and how this is especially important as we enter the Advent season and prepare for Christ's coming. He discusses how silence helps us to spread the word of God by first enabling us to receive Him so that we are then able to give Him to others.
This is the First talk of two for the 2017 Advent Day of Reflection given Fr. Patrick Hyde O.P., "Preparing for Christ in Silence, The Role of Silence in the Church Fathers" at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center in Bloomington IN.

John Cassian - not a heretic even though accused of by some
Fathers Don't pull punches

23:00 What is silence?
The Power of Silence by Card. Sarah:
https://tinyurl.com/y9k6gs2m
What silence is not - not just lack of noise and thought, not Zen Buddhism, not blanking mind is not the goal
Not an end to itself - active component involved
Silence is a way of life, active,
asceticism, self renunciation, humility
Asceticism - penance, Guarding tongue
Self renunciation - give up something
Humility - All good I have is a gift, for prayer and for helping others
30:00 Silence is internal and external
External remove iPhone etc. noise
Internal - meditation on life of Jesus, not just silent but falling in love with Jesus.
Three type of prayer: vocal, meditation, contemplation
First two we can do, but third is a gift, but must do the first two before God gives the last
for internal silence need external silence first
33:00
Silence gives us a taste for prayer and sets our life aflame
Best people of prayer are the veterans. Not always the nicest but have the wisdom
Silence is more art than science.
We must step into the breach of silence to receive Christ
37:00
If we want to preach must be silent
Cities- must get away at times
Monks were hermits with common prayer and mass
Practical- Not just jump to the heights but going step by step
41:00 Monks were very clear instructive about human person
Battle is the climbing of the ladder
three points from desert fathers
1 necessity of silence- noise leads to sickness. - path to deeper prayer not that healed from spiritual sickness
Simplicity - leads to a simple way of praying
42:00 from book
Stillness of water clears murkiness, so too with our souls, can see ourselves better
Unceasing prayer should be goal
It is process
Helps us become all things, enables us to set everything on fire
45:00 Wrap-up
work of a lifetime
Growing in love
Drive out our faults, Receive the light of Christ.
When our life is prayer then people will seek us out.
Be still and know that I am God. psalm 46
This is how we become great evangelizers and Christians of action.
