Silence - Week 4: Saturday

St. Clement of Alexandria

Prayer is, then, to speak more boldly, a conversation with God. Though whispering, consequently, and not opening the lips, we speak in silence, yet we cry inwardly. For God hears continually the whole inward conversation.

Cassiodorus of Calabria

The heart reveals its silent longing, to which the Godhead listens more than to the most thundering voices of nations.

Mother Theresa

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
