"The Spirit of God is a spirit of peace,
and he speaks and acts in peace and gentleness, never in tumult and agitation.
What’s more, the motions of the Spirit are delicate touches that don’t make a
great noise and can penetrate our spiritual consciousness only if we have
within ourselves a sort of calm zone of silence and peace. If our inner world
is noisy and agitated, the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit will find it very
difficult to be heard. If we want to recognize and follow the Spirit’s motions,
it is of the greatest importance to maintain a peaceful heart in all
circumstances."
— Fr. Jacques Philippe, In the School of the
Holy Spirit, p. 37
