Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
Father Christopher Jamison, Benedictine Monk:

听

I鈥檓 just back from Sweden and while there I fulfilled a personal ambition, namely, to visit Sweden鈥檚 top security prison. A strange ambition, I know, but this is the only prison in the world that offers inmates the opportunity to undertake a time of silent retreat within the prison, guided by a Lutheran priest. This is no easy alternative to regular prison life. They spend 30 days in complete silence broken only by a daily conversation with the retreat guide. It was my privilege to meet Juan, not his real name, who received a life sentence at the age of 21 and who admits that he did many bad things. He told me that when he entered the prison he was so full of hatred and resentment that he refused to speak to anybody, not even the other prisoners. But his hatred melted away during the retreat. He is now a completely changed man and he even hugs the warders. 鈥楾his is the best thing that鈥檚 ever happened in my life鈥� he says 鈥榗oming to jail and finding myself through the retreat.鈥� He has moved from a silence filled with hatred to a silence filled with God鈥檚 love. He used to think only of how to get one up on everybody else but now he reads the bible and wonders 鈥� how can I be like Jesus?鈥� He has at least another 12 years to serve but when he leaves prison, he wants to dedicate his life to saving young people from the life of violence he used to lead. A regular discipline of silence isn鈥檛 easy but it is a way of hearing new truths about life. But don鈥檛 make the silence during the Breakfast Show or Ken Bruce. Or Jeremy Vine or...maybe I need to give this more thought!
