“Silence is nothing else but waiting for God’s Word and coming from God’s Word with a blessing, but everybody knows that this something that needs to be practiced and learned, in these days when talkativeness prevails…. Often we are so burdened and overwhelmed with other thoughts, images, and concerns that it may take a long time before God’s Word has swept all else aside and come through. But it will surely come, just as surely as God has come… and will come again.”
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
