Silence is more important than any other human work.
And a human being is unceasingly surprised by the light that bursts forth then.
Through God the silent one we can gain access to silence.
Silence is born of silence.
In this book, Cardinal Sarah has only one aim, which is summed up in this thought from his book: "Silence is difficult but it makes a human being able to allow himself to be led by God. "Although speech characterizes man, silence is what defines him, because speech acquires sense only in terms of this silence." This is the beautiful and significant message of The Power of Silence .
After the great international success of God or Nothing , translated into fourteen languages, Cardinal Sarah seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance.
God is silence.
In this long and profound conversation with Nicolas Diat, done within the hallowed walls of silence in the famous Carthusian monastery of La Grande Chartreux in France, the Cardinal proposes the question: can those who do not know silence ever attain truth, beauty, love? The response is undeniable: all that is great and creative is formed by silence.
Silence is indispensable for hearing the music of God: prayer arises from silence and returns to silence with ever greater depth.
The Cardinal recalls that life is a silent relationship between what is most intimate in man and God.
For Cardinal Sarah, modern man, in repressing the divine, finds himself in a deep dilemma, an oppressive and anguishing trial.
The world generates so much Noise that seeking moments of silence only becomes more necessary.
