God can speak to us through small everyday miracles or even through his silence

God can communicate with us in different ways, when we seek him with constancy, faith, devotion, prayer...

It can be through a strong inner feeling, by opening the Bible, by a friend who appears at that difficult moment (when you weren't expecting it) to comfort you, by small movements of nature or everyday situations... among others.

However, this does not mean that He will speak at all times. God knows when we really need an impulse from him or not! And He won't miss that time by even a millisecond.

On the other hand, there will be moments of great silence from God, especially when we are tested in deserts. But this is also a way in which Jesus communicates with us.

See below in our REELS Instagram video an action of God through nature to a brother who had been looking for him for a long time, until he got his answer; as well as Friar Gilson's explanation of God's moments of silence:Below, noé, is the full context of the interview with Friar Gilson in which he explains God's silence:

God's silence is also an answer. Are there times when you're not silent to your children? To your wife? Your wife wants you to talk! But you keep quiet. Silence is also speech. In silence you're saying that it's not the moment... That it's not the time... That I'm upset... That I need some time. So many times God will say yes, God will say no, or God will say wait... And many times he'll remain silent. 

And as incredible as it may seem, the closer you are to God, the more He is silent... And so say the great mystics of God. Because God's silence also provokes your faith... The absence of God provokes your faith. 

Because the more you see, the less faith you need. And the less you see, the more you live by faith. So to people who don't listen to God I would say: keep going... Keep going... Silence is God talking to you. Silence is desert. Silence is God wanting to say things that you're not prepared to hear in the noise... So God will often bring you into the desert and make you silent. And often it's because you're not ready to listen.

Gilson has given interviews to some secular (non-religious) podcasts, but not as an integral member and supporter of the program, but as an evangelizer! Jesus also sat down with sinners to eat, but with the intention of converting them, not supporting them. Note that when the interviewer is touched by the Friar's words, he wastes no time in evangelizing him.

Today's times are urgent... See the blasphemy against God committed at the opening of the Olympics, broadcast worldwide. God is not to be trifled with, nor mocked. So, when we have an acquaintance opening up to receive a word, let's not waste any time and let's also evangelize, as Friar Gilson did.
