During the Synod of Bishops on Tuesday, the Peruvian founder of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, Luis Fernando Figari Rodrigo, said “active silence,” which makes us open to reverent attentiveness to the Word of God, is the path towards a personal and sanctifying encounter with the Lord.
During the session in which various founders and general superiors addressed the bishops, Luis Fernando Figari recalled how “Pope Paul VI emphasized the communicative dimension of divine revelation in Ecclesiam Suam,” something that is expressed “in that beautiful passage of Exodus in which we are told that ‘God spoke with Moses face to face, as with a friend’.”
