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

65%  of  Hispanic  Catholics  leave  the  Catholic  church  because  they  want  a  deeper  and  more  meaningful  relationship  with  God.
