“In L’Humble Présence, Maurice Zundel said that ‘silence is the only thing that reveals the depths of life.’ The great works of God are the fruit of silence. God alone is witness of them and, along with him, those who see from within, who keep silence and live in the presence of the silent Word, like the Virgin Mary.”

Zundel, by the way, was a Swiss Roman Catholic theologian, and friend of Pope Paul VI. He died in 1975.
