The surprising power of graceful silence

Our diocesan paper has a piece by a Fr Peter Daly about hosting a Catholic teen "work camp," and the grace-filled experience of Eucharistic Adoration.

"After a couple of hours of high energy praise and worship music, the musicians quieted the youth down with a chant. Then in the dark we walked t... to the church along a ...path lit only by candles.

By the time we got the the church there was silence. We started adoration: two hours of.... silence in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.

... Teens crave a moment of reflection, silence and prayer.... They were blown away by the power of silent prayer...."Father, man, that was totally awesome."



Umm.... yeah.
