But the Lord is in his holy temple:
let all the earth keep silence before him.
Habakkuk 2:20 KJV
***
Advent, this powerful liturgical season that we are beginning,
invites us to pause in silence to understand a presence.
It is an invitation to understand
that the individual events of the day are hints that God is giving us,
signs of the attention he has for each one of us.
Pope Benedict XVI
***
Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere –
in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you,
in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
Mother Teresa
***
In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love;
with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.
Mother Teresa
