Silence
The importance of Silence at Adoration
"In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering." ~ Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
"Friends, do not be afraid of silence or stillness. Listen to God. Adore Him, in the Eucharist." ~ Pope Benedict XVI
"It is great wisdom to know how to be silent." ~ St. John of the Cross
"It is best to learn to silence the faculties and to cause them to be still, so that God may speak." St. John of the Cross
"The men and women who pray in silence, in the night, and in solitude are the supporting pillars of Christ's Church." ~ Cardinal R, Sarah
"Silence strips man and makes him like a child : pure but frail, innocent, and without provisions. Silence shapes us as the blacksmith works metal." ~ Cardinal R, Sarah
"Frequently, only silence can express my prayer." ~ Therese of Lisieux
"Until we have a passionate love for our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament we shall accomplish nothing." ~ St. Peter Julian Eymard

Out of love, Christ humbles Himself in silence in the form of the Eucharist... Can we do not the same for Him when we adore Him in silence?
