In Diaconal Silence, Deacon James Keating offers a profound, practical guide for deacons seeking authentic spiritual renewal through silent-directed retreat. Rooted in Scripture and the Church's tradition, this handbook teaches how silence deepens intimacy with the Trinity, strengthens interior prayer, and fuels diaconal ministry. With clear instruction on lectio divina, Eucharistic adoration, and spiritual direction, Keating invites deacons to encounter God's love, mature in affective communion, and allow ministry to flow from contemplative union.
