The Many Silences of God (S12 Episode31)

For the fourth week of Lent, we are focusing on The Many Silences of God. The playlist for this week is like a wonderful choose your own adventure. Tracks 1-20 are contemporary songs exploring the theme, ah, but tracks 20-30 are a delightful collection of classical tracks. Start at track one, or choose a different listening experience and start at track 20. For this week, you can find the playlist here on Apple Music or on Spotify.
 
For those who find art a useful companion for reflection, two fantastic resources for you. Check out Queen’s House, Greenwich 2 by Ben Johnson. Or, check out this article from the CBC on liminal space photography. In the collection of photos, you can hear and feel the silence they capture. It is a bit eerie.

For those interested in film, Martin Scorsese’s film Silence is a "must watch at least once in your life" kind of film. Fair warning, the movie is a deep and profound meditation on faith, but it is not an easy watch. Clocking in at 2 hours and 41 minutes, the viewing experience is at times difficult…which is part of the point. And, at the very least, being a Martin Scorsese film, you know you are in the hands of brilliant director. You can find a trailer of the film here, and perhaps the last line of the trailer will convince you to give it a view.
