Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spiritual Life, Doctrine and Practice of Christian Perfection
Let us realize that it is God's plan to sanctify us one by one. Holiness is indeed imparted by the outward medium of the Sacraments, yet it is an inward process. Now, silence is the conversation of the divinity, the language of the angels, the eloquence of heaven, the art of persuading God. SO said de Rancé who had known all the joys and all the benefits of speech in his life in the world, and of silence in his life at La Trappe. Trust him with the scales for adjusting their relative value.
