The Catholic News website reports today (October 10, 2011) that Pope Benedict XVI -- during a visit to an Italian monastery yesterday -- said endless noise, news, and crowds have made people afraid of silence and solitude, which are essential for finding God's love and love for others.
Young people seem to want to fill every moment with music and video, the Pope said.
"Some people are no longer able to bear silence and solitude for very long," he said during a vesper service at a Carthusian monastery in Calabria.
By spending time alone in quiet prayer, people find life's essentials and unity with others, he added.
