'But prayer can also be a very personal, private and silent experience. It requires listening as well as speaking. It requires being open to hearing God and letting God explore our deepest thoughts. It involves being honest with God; being humble and acknowledging our own failings and weaknesses; and opening ourselves to the power, the forgiveness and the love of God.'
I have been watching The Big Silence on BBC Iplayer ( I don't seem to have found out when it actually goes out so haven't seen it live). I am not new to silence or to Ignation prayer but found the programmes very absorbing, challenging me to more active listening.
I want to get the book from the Way which goes with the series -but there has been such huge demand since the broadcast I think they are having to do another print run!
Please do watch it while it is still on BBC I Player
PS Episode 3 went out in Scotland on Weds 3 but it seems this is not on i player till after the English have seen it!
