Above: Saint Ignatius Chapel, the bell calling us to prayer.  Ignatius House, 6700 Riverside Drive, Atlanta, GA.  From an Advent silent retreat, 12/10—12/12/2010. Below: the font at the entry to the chapel.

This was one of the most profound experiences of my entire life in Christ. Rather than describe it, I encourage you to go. Savor the silence. Experience community without conversation. Make time in your life to listen to God, in the space silence provides.
