May we robe ourselves
with healing, golden, silent
pray’rs in cloistered hearts…
And garments of Grace –
woven with Divine Wisdom
and Peace from Above.
The friend of silence comes close to God. ~ St. John Climacus
You must allow yourself to approach silently nearer and nearer to yourself: the past, the present and the future in this moment of silence… all the waters of your life which flow away and run out and which are collected in the one basin of a heart aware of itself. ~ Fr. Antony Hughes
…Silence is the prerequisite for inner stillness, and only inner stillness enables us truly to listen to God, to hear His voice, and to commune with Him in the depths of our being. Yet silence and stillness are, like prayer itself, gifts that God can and wants to bestow upon us. ~ Very Rev. John Breck – On Silence and Stillness
…He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: ~ Psalm 23:2-3
