The divine life enkindled in the soul is the Light that has come into the darkness; it is the miracle of the holy night.
~ Edith Stein
...it is in the stillness, in the silence, that the word of God is to be heard. There is no better avenue of approach to this Word than through stillness, through silence. It is to be heard there as it is -- in that unself-consciousness, for when we are aware of nothing, that word is imparted to us and clearly revealed.
