• The tongue is a small member, but it does big things. A religious who does not keep silence will never attain holiness; that is, she will never become a saint.

But, in order to hear the voice of God, one has to have silence in one's soul and to keep silence; not a gloomy silence but an interior silence; that is to say, recollection in God.

  Mary Faustina Kowalska
