"Not to try to
live in interior silence is equivalent to giving up the effort to lead a truly
Christian life. The Christian life is a life of faith, lived in the invisible
for what is invisible. Anyone who is not in constant contact with the invisible
world runs the risk of remaining always on the threshold of a true Christian
life. ... Solitude is the stronghold of the strong. Strength is an active
virtue, and our power of keeping silence marks the level of our capacity for
action. 'Without this interior cell, we would be incapable of doing great
things, either for ourselves or for others.'"
— Raoul Plus, S.J., How to pray always, p. 40-41
