Merhaba! It's great to know a Turkish Catholic. I love Turkish TV series and I'm learning Turkish. Thanks to you I've discovered a great channel called Katolik Turkler, teşekkür ederim, Tanrı seni korusun.
Lord 🙏 please help teach me to hear and listen for Your voice in silence and please help quiet down all the noise in our world 🌎 Jesus ♥️ Save Us from all this madness in our world 🌍 today 🙏 Amen 🙏
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Ah, your timing is perfect. I had a horrible, burning skin sensation last night. I applied a topical cream that gave a few moments of relief….then more pain…..more lotion applied….and yet more pain. Unbearable. I prayed over and over for mercy. 🙏🏻 Pain was overwhelming. And then…..that still small voice… “might be your reaction to the pain-killing cream”. YES. Washed that off and had immediate relief and the ability to sleep. All prayers are answered, tho often not as we expect. Prayers of gratitude to our Lord and Savior. ❤❤. Stillness is a wonderful thing!
How much this is underrated can't be emphasized enough! We pray to God for discernment, help with decisions, knowing what to do and how to act, and yet we don't allow the space for answers in silence. God speaks calmly, yet relentlessly. If you want to know if what you hear is His voice or your own, try to argue with it. If it talks back, rationalizes, tries to justify itself, gives you 'shoulds', try to talk you into doing what it's telling you to do, it's just your own limited self speaking. God doesn't need to argue, or to justify Himself. He presents Himself as a gift; you take it or leave it. Obey it or not. It's up to you. It's a skill you develop, in a way. And the more I develop it and learn to trust that voice that's not mine, the better my life becomes, even if at first the thing it's telling me to do seems 'irrational', 'unfun', or 'impractical'. That voice told me to start going to the church and praying everyday, even though there was nothing 'rational' about it at the time. I was an atheist. Yet, I heard it for years, a little whisper at the back of my mind. Never forceful. Until one day I decided to follow it and my life was transformed. It told me to follow a specific career path and start a specific type of side project. It told me to date and invest in a specific person that is now my girlfriend. In fact, she told me she also wanted to join the church when I told her I wanted to go, and that she'd had that wish for years (just like me). I didn't know that when we started dating, but God knew, and I just followed. Every time I followed that voice of His, it's been to my benefit, and to the benefit of people around me. Every time I ignored it and decided I knew best, it's been to my own demise.
I'm going to a retreat at Gethsemane monastery shortly! Can't wait for the silence! The nice thing is it's free for anybody to go and I didn't have to sign any waivers about me dying and insurance and blah blah blah.
This comment isn’t meant to draw attention to myself ~ 2 years ago I was called to a life of prayer. As time went by the noise became very unwanted. The damage the noise does to our brains is massive. Now I’m much more selective of the things I allow into my life, what I allow myself to see and hear. I’m also much more caring in conversations and attention to people. My ears work better thanks be to God. Again, not about me, just sharing testimony to support the video. God is good at what he does and silencing a person is his bandaid for sure. Just dive right in would be my advice. It will become an everyday thing. It’s shocking how much God is listening and caring and smiling at our thoughts. Thank you for the video Father. Praise God.
Great point Father. I went to mass last weekend and as entering the Priest made a point of saying welcome to your appointment with God. That resignated with me very much. I appreciate your working for Jesus to reach the flock. Thank you Father.
Silence is indeed the medium in which we can converse with God and He can speak to us! The world, the flesh and the devil are distractions which are detrimental to our salvation...
Amen!!!! I pray to our Lord that He allows for me to be more like the image He wants me to be. For me to speak more how He wants me to speak! For that to happen, I need to learn more and more of Him and be in constant communication with Him through silence, and most importantly through all the noise! I was recently diagnosed with cancer, and all those doctors visits cause commotion, but I constantly communicate with him, and it has brought me this internal peace I did not think was possible! All glory to you Lord!
In 1964, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel released the song, The Sound of Silence. When asked in a CBC interview, “What IS the sound of silence?”, Paul Simon answered that, “It’s all the words we leave unsaid”. Things we wish we would’ve said. Words like, ‘Hey, you know what I mean’ or ‘Ditto!’ (Ghost 1990). Sometimes, we don’t have to say the words. Sometimes, we wish we did say them. Sometimes, in silence, we hear the Word. It’s when we open our hearts and bare our souls to the Lord, offer up all that you are, all that you feel, and allow His infinite love and grace to fill you up, do you hear His Word. Only in the sound of silence when we close out the outside noise of our lives can we hear Him. That’s just my opinion. What are your thoughts? Spot on? Spot off? Hit the gas? Pump the brakes?
Before I even start the video, I remember seeing a video with Fr. Mark-Mary, and Fr. Gregory Pine, where Fr. Gregory was saying something wonderful, but I don't even remember what it was because Fr. Mark-Mary was glowing or even BEAMING through his quiet presence, in just being fully present for Fr. Gregory he stole the "spotlight" without even saying a word! XD
God bless you all!! Love your videos no matter the topic! ❤❤❤ truly god has made you to do great things and this life and amazing things in the next! 😊😊❤
God has been teaching me this lately. How do we expect to get closer to Him if we don’t spend more time with Him? It’s so simple but yet foreign as Fr. Mark-Mary said.
Honestly some of us can't afford a life of silence. With work or school taking up much of the week, we only get silence when we sleep, at Sunday Mass, or during scheduled prayer times.
Well...I think these "scheduled" prayer times/silence is what he's asking of us...Remember, Ascension's original audience was students and single people, some discerning religious life, not adults with families or full time work. If you are devoted to a prayer schedule, you're advancing in the spiritual life, you're way ahead! God bless you in this!
Wait a minute -😮I was raised Pentecostal and I had a dream religious men were weaving beautiful embroidery on a sacred church banner each embroidered one letter -again I could only see a letter at a time and later someone rehearsed each letter -spelling it out for me revealing in a fraction of a second that each letter represented a lifetime of devotion that these priest had put into the ministry then behind me still in my dream someone whispered “Franciscan Friar…” admittedly I don’t even know what that means but I happen to see this clip on RUclips and you said those words Franciscan Friar at the start of the video --what the?????? Ok I’m listening 😮❤
It is true that all of us need a balance in life between business and time for silence and reflection. If we do not enjoy enough silent time in prayer then our time with others in recreation being called ahead of time what we call a treat reward might start feeling less and less fulfilling. Like when out on a Kareoke night with friends when hearing a couple one with the mike get to sing that one one line from a song written by Stevie Wonder which says, "Superstition is not THE WAY." Stevie Wonder who was clever in how he managed to slip in a little gospel in often in his lyrics along with his so called by some all the time only noise.
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. make sure you are listening for the whisper
Its hard to remmeber besides actual sound, to cut out the visual noise and just the noise of constantly needing to consume-scrollimg on your phone, always having to have coffee or pop or some extra drink throughout the day, needing to always be talking to someone on the phone or texting. Idk if this Brother was the one who said it, but we're such a society of needing to consume something all the time...which I'm of course guilty of as well.
Parents these days are under presdure to have all these activities for the kids. My daughter is sporty and she put too much on our family plate. I tried to resist but... long story. Her dad and I are divorced... It's been too much.
I practice intention quiet but what I really struggle with is prayer at work. I work in a restaurant, and that means constant Secular music (unless I have the speaker) other people find silence "awkward" and that's really hard for me to find silence during my work day. Constant 11 hour noise is hard on my ADHD brain... advice please? Maybe I should get a new job type. 😅
I need help. My fiancé just cancelled our wedding. I’m falling apart and I feel like walking into traffic. Please pray for me. This is just the latest in a series of painful things in my life. I’m so tired and I have no hope left. I’ve tried
Psalm 34:6: This poor man called, and the Lord heard him and he saved him out of all his troubles. Pray to God, give him time, things will work out. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
So sorry to hear this. When lots of painful things happen it feels unbearable and exhausting but know that God is always there with you in the heartache. Learn to rest when you are exhausted and continue daily to take baby steps. It may not seem it now but maybe the cancellation is a blessing for your protection. Prayers for you friend. 💛💛🙏
Very rough what u are going through but don't let go of God's hand...remember we all go through rough patches in our lives...don't buy the worlds lie if u do this or that ur life will be perfect. Cry and feel ur disappointment but also look in the mirror and know u were created in God's image and u are loved. Dont let your disappointment and hurt tell you otherwise. U are beautiful
Very Very Good!!! Our world is FAR too noisy… sitting in silence is SO VERY Beautiful!!! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🙏🙏🙏❤️ (I am comment 70- 7 is a very good number & biblical. - 😃)
@onikillah9596 Hey man, I'm in the same boat you are. Confession every week, habitual sin, and wondering where God is in all this. Recently like last week I realized that he has been reaching out to me and I've been rejecting it every time. It's very easy to ignore God especially when committing sin, it makes it easier to sin when you try to block out of you head that there is a hand leading you the other way. You should try doing some sort of examination of what you are doing when you sin, what you were doing beforehand, how you felt after, and anything during any of those times that was calling you to stop the sin and come back to Him, any sort of sign. Be strong brother.
WHY DID JESUS SAY “AND THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL?” (JOHN 17:3) MOST PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE REASON JESUS CAME DOWN TO EARTH. HE CAME TO DECLARE THE FATHER’S WILL, POWER, SPIRIT, AND TESTIMONY (JOHN 1:18, MATTHEW 11:27). ONLY THOSE WHO HEAR AND DO THE WILL OF GOD BELONG TO GOD. JESUS SAID HIS WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY (MATTHEW 24:35). WE MUST KNOW THEM BOTH IF WE ARE TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE (JOHN 17:3). IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE FATHER, JESUS WILL DENY YOU ENTRY WHEN HE SAYS, “DEPART FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW YOU” (MATTHEW 7:23).

Merhaba abi! I really hope and pray that they add Turkish subtitles to these videos!
I am definitely a Silence person. Actually, Silence is my favorite sound! I often avoid certain activities & events because noise makes me ungrounded.

Can you explain what God says in the silence? Or what it sounds like?
No but you can experience it yourself. You’ll know the difference I promise you that. Give god the opportunity to speak to you
Peaceful, calm, reassuring
Thru the Holy Spirit, He gives me ideas and reminders of His priorities for me in the beautiful Silence 🤍
Thank you.
