Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening.

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. [A human] experiences [It]self, [Its] thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of [human] consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”

- Bishop Oscar Romero (Canonised 2019).

“Each one...has to be God’s microphone.”

- Bishop Oscar Romero (Canonised 2019).

"Just as a flower unfolds in silence and its scent worships its Creator in silence, the interior soul must do likewise.”

- Sister Marie-Aimée de Jésus OCD in
The Twelve Degrees of Silence (P54).
