Only in Silence Can You
Hear the Silence Speak by Bob Becker
This little book is a story about insufferable losses, disillusionment, loneliness and finally about acceptance
presence, generosity and purpose. It is the story of Father Ben Priest's life. It is testament to healing, from the inside out and learning to be" present" so as to never lose perhaps all we may ever really have - the moment at hand. I had been blessed to have known Father Ben for over 30 years and to have been considered his friend.
In the late 1960's, Father Ben retired from Trinity Church, Broadway and Wall Street, and with his own funds built and supported the Oratory of the Little Way of Saint Therese of Lisieux, in Gaylordsville. CT. It was and still is a retreat house for all people. As Ben would say; We don't care about which church you go to or stay away from. What we care about is you and your desire to re-connect with God."
The door was always open and there was no donation box. My dear friend had finally created a home; a home that he was never able to hold on to, but always yearned for. Everyone was welcomed and no one was judged.
Father Ben has long since passed away but I am still inspired by his "Little Way" and I find peace, comfort and strength in his approach to life, spirituality and openess. I hope that his story speaks to you and offers you some measure of warmth and wisdom as it has for me.
