Silence is the beautiful fruit of prayer. We must learn not only the silence of the mouth, but also the silence of the heart, of the eyes, of the ears and of the mind, which I call the five silences. Say it and memorize it on your five fingers.
In silence learn to give of yourself, forgive others, live with gratitude. Then you need not seek inner peace: Peace will find you!
