Silence

Part of today's Office of Readings is just so wonderful that I have to post it:

Now there was one Teacher who spoke, and it was made, and even what he did in silence is worthy of the Father. He who has the word of Jesus can truly listen also to his silence, in order to be perfect, that he may act through his speech and be known by his silence.

St. Ignatius of Antioch, letter to the Ephesians
