“Silence will illuminate you in God … and deliver you from phantoms of ignorance.
Silence will unite you to God … In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent. But then from our very silence is born something that draws us into deeper silence.
May God give you an experience of this ‘something’ that is born of silence.”

Issac of Nineveh,
