Silence provides an atmosphere for prayer, and it preserves the growth that has been gained in prayer. People who begin to speak immediately after prayer in common, will not be able to preserve the fruits of their prayer. Their Recollection is dissipated, and they pour out all that has been accumulated within them. The observance of silence, on the other hand, allows the spirit of prayer to reverberate and take root in the heart.
There is no cost to have the Friends of Silence monthly letter sent to you each month.
For the past 32 years, a small band of dedicated friends have poured their hearts and love into Friends of Silence.
Each month we send out the newsletter in print and email to a growing community of over 10,000 people.
The monthly newsletter of contemplative quotes remains free and is made possible by your generosity and support.
If our work brings you any hope and a sense of belonging, then please consider supporting our labor of love with a donation.
And if you’ve already given, from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU.
