We cannot find God in noise or agitation. Nature: trees, flowers and grass grow in silence. The stars, the moon, and the sun move in silence. What is essential is not what we say but what God tells others through us. In silence He listens to us; in silence He speaks to our souls. In silence we are granted the privilege of listening to his voice.
Silence of our eyes. Silence of our ears. Silence of our minds. …In the silence of the heart God will speak.
-‐-‐Mother Teresa, cited in The Power of Prayer (New York: MJF Books, 1998), 3,3-‐8
Silence is essential to grow closer to God
