What leads a parish priest to leave the busyness of ministry for a life of silence and solitude? In this episode, George Matysek talks with Father Peter of Jesus — formerly a priest of the Archdiocese of Baltimore known as Father Patrick Peach — about his faith-filled journey to a Carmelite Hermitage in Minnesota. Father Peter, a graduate of Calvert Hall College High School in Towson, reflects on what drew him to the contemplative life and shares how the wisdom of St. Teresa of Avila can help anyone seeking a deeper connection with God amid the noise of everyday life.
