https://catholicgentleman.com/2024/05/why-cant-i-hear-god/At the heart of man there is an innate silence, for God abides in the innermost part of every person. God is silence, and this divine silence dwells in man. In God we are inseparably bound up with silence. . . God carries us, and we live with him at every moment by keeping silence. Nothing will make us discover God better than his silence inscribed in the center of our being. If we do not cultivate this silence how can we find God?” (The Power of Silence, 22).
-Robert Cardinal Sarah
