Suffering, then, is not wasted. When we find ourselves in the deep waters of sorrow, grief, and lament, God is at work, growing and maturing us.

Christ crucified for us is the assurance of God's love in the shadows of God's hiddenness.

If noise is the enemy of our souls, then God fights it with his gentle whisper, and he encompasses you within it. You have only to be silent.

The world has never been wordier than it is today, writes Grayson Pope. For centuries, Christianity has understood the power of silence. It’s time we rediscover the power of silence.
