Son Rise Morning Show 11/29/2023: Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. on Silence During Advent
In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discusses themes of Advent from St. Vincent Pallotti, specifically silence.
Silence
"The Incarnate Word, infinite Wisdom, to teach us the practice of silence, was born for us in the seclusion of a stable, in the still silence of the night as a little baby, which like all infants, could not speak. Therefore, we must understand that silence observed in order to converse more intimately with God, is a gift of God." ~ St. Vincent Pallotti
View Advent resources provided by the Catholic Apostolate Center. The season of Advent is the Church’s liturgical season of preparation for Christmas. It is often referred to as “the Little Lent”. Advent begins on the Sunday closest to the feast of St. Andrew, November 30th, and continues for four weeks and concludes with midnight Mass on Christmas. Families prepare for Christmas in advent in a variety of ways, such as setting up and Advent wreath on the dining room table or using a Jesse tree. One can also use the season to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Penance and observe silence as a means of preparing for Christmas.
