I Spend A Week of Silence With Monks Every Year: Here's Why...

Frank opens up about the rhythms of his monastery retreat, from 3:30am wake-up bells to the final prayers at night. He describes the stillness of sitting in the chapel with just candlelight, the way meals are shared in silence, and how it feels to be welcomed by the brothers into their daily rhythm. He shares honestly about how hard it can be at first, the restlessness, and then the deep peace that eventually settles in. This is more than just time away — it’s an encounter with God through silence, prayer, and the simple presence of others walking the same path.
