We have a monastery in mount angel (Oregon) and it’s an incredibly peaceful place. I often go there (and I’m not even catholic!) but I heard they have or used to have a silence or silent retreat where people spend a few days and there’s no speaking just meditating.
@@karencristobal4999 Hello Karen, that’s awesome that there’s a beautiful monastery that you find peaceful. Usually silent retreats are my absolute favorite. One time I went on a retreat thinking I was going to have this grand ol time with all my friends talking up a storm there with them and sharing all kinds of things. When I showed up everybody kept telling me to shush. I said why? And they told me there was no talking the whole time and I was so angry. Lo and behold it was the best retreat I have ever been on in my life. I got to watch everybody show love through action not with their words.
So beautiful to hear the song every year. All the verses are worth re-reading and treasuring in your heart!

@@thecatholicunschooler6507 nice. You and I are both talkers. It really can be a gift to silence. Sometimes 😘
@@karencristobal4999 Oh yeah! You can say that again lol
It’s similar to the king cake tradition.
