What is Silence?
"Silence is ecumenical. It precedes dogma. It is incapable of crusades. In silence, people who do not speak the same language may yet act together, creating a tableau that talks louder than words." 1
"Exterior isolation is overcome in interior communion" 2
"...and our communion with all is achieved in reverential silence." 3
