THE SILENCES OF LENT

Lent is a season full of silences.

Ours is a God of Silence, but He keeps different kinds of silence. During Lent, more than ever, God is silent. His deepest silences are experienced in the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus.




The Silence of Gethsemane, the Silence of Calvary, and the Silence of the Empty Tomb--each one is different from the other. Maybe if we understand God's silences in Lent, we will better understand His silences--and language--in our own lives.

Come, join Fr. JG, SJ, and pray with us over God's Lenten silences...
