O Lord, the Scripture says ‘there is a time for silence and a time for speech. ‘Saviour, teach me the silence of humility, the silence of wisdom, the silence of love, the silence of perfection, the silence that speaks without words, the silence of faith. Lord, teach me to silence my own heart that I may listen to the gentle movement of the Holy Spirit within me and sense the depths which are of God. (C16 Frankfurt Prayer)
