“Be faithful to your time spent in prayer and make sure that at least half of your prayer is spent in silence. This will bring you closer to Jesus.

But we live in an age where we can watch actual footage of a saint pleading with us to love God by loving those who are lonely and unwanted. To find the graces necessary to obey our mission to love the world, we need prayer. We need silence.
