Come Aside and Rest Awhile

Silence in solitude is meant to prepare a way for the Lord, to clear a straight path for God. The voice crying in the wilderness is the call, the hunger, to go into silence, to go into a place apart to prepare an empty space for God. (Mark 1:2-3)
This pamphlet speaks to the value of such times of retirement, responds to probing questions about the use of silence, and shares experiences of voluntary and involuntary, short and long retreats.
