Milczenie w życiu duchowym człowieka w hałasie ponowoczesności
Silence in the spiritual life in the noise of postmodernity

Summary/Abstract: The problem of silence is one of the most important issues on the basis of spiritual theology as well as Christian formation. It acquires a special meaning in the face of contemporary anti-Christian and anti-Catholic challenges and trends. The process of successive secularization, which is the result of postmodernity, makes silence become unclear and incomprehensible. In this way, they are reduced to a purely naturalistic level. The practice of silence has its deep biblical foundation in both the Old and the New Testament. The words and attitudes of Jesus Christ, whose the Christian imitates, they are a reliable determinant of working on themselves in this regard. Also, the practice of the Church over many centuries is proof of the validity of this tool of sanctifying. Silence is reflected in theological analyses that are based on supernatural and anthropological principles. It should be said that silence occurs in correlation with silence and loneliness leading to the integration of man and, above all, is an effective tool for striving for union with God.
