Why does God sometimes seem silent when we pray?
In today's homily, Fr. Ignatius Shin, CFR. reflects on the example of St. Mary Magdalene, whose search for the risen Christ reminds us that seasons of silence, dryness, and distraction are a normal part of the spiritual life. Rather than abandoning us, God uses these moments to purify our hearts, free us from worldly attachments, and deepen our love for Him.
