brandelynmarie Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) [quote name='InPersonaChriste' timestamp='1326813482' post='2370477'] Going to a silent retreat in 18 days [/quote] I silent retreats. Especially at mealtimes...I would & at people across the table & then take in a big sigh of relief. It was like, "Ok, Jesus, back to You now." My friends couldn't believe it when I told them because they claim I have such a gift of gab. But I told them, just because I am good at something, doesn't mean that I always want to be doing it.

Carmelshrimp Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Retreats in silence are the best. To be honest, any other sort just feels like a distraction. The opportunities of silence and being focused on God for days at a time are beyond words anyway. Lovers don't need to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictlyinkblot Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I like a balance, time for silence and time for speaking. I'm naturally a talker but then most contemplative nuns I've met are as well. And quite a few gigglers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
