O Lord, the Scripture says,
'There is a time for silence,
and a time for speech.'
Saviour, teach me
the silence of humility,
the silence of wisdom,
the silence of love,
the silence of perfection,
the silence that speaks without words,
the silence of faith.
the silence of faith.
Lord, teach me to silence my own heart
that I may listen to the gentle movement
of the Holy Spirit within me
and sense the depths which are of God.
Frankfurt prayer, sixteenth century
