"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. 40-1
