Keep Lent in Si-lent | Franciscan Fridays ep. 45
Are you filling your Lent with noise… or making room for God?

In this episode of Franciscan Fridays at the shrine, we explore Pope Leo’s powerful Lenten themes of listening and fasting—especially fasting from noise, distractions, and constant stimulation. What if the key to a deeper prayer life isn’t doing more… but becoming silent?
We reflect on:
📖 Pope Leo’s Lenten letter and the call to listen
🌹 The silence of Sister Lucia and Carmelite spirituality
✝️ The example of Saint Francis of Assisi and his love for solitude
🕊️ Stillness of heart through the wisdom of Josef Pieper
💬 Presence and affirmation in the thought of Conrad Baars
🙏 The power of the Holy Rosary and Eucharistic Adoration
🔔 Why focusing on the Eucharist brings interior peace
We also discuss practical ways to cultivate silence in a noisy world—through better rest, nature, retreats, desert days, and even snow-covered stillness.
This Lent, consider fasting not only from food—but from unnecessary words, negativity, and digital distraction.
“Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
