Silence




When one keeps silent, he is given time and freedom for prayer and

concentration; but when he passes his hours carelessly, he does not

have time to pray.

Furthermore, through his careless speech he accumulates various sins.

For this reason the Holy Fathers placed the virtue of silence at the

summit of the virtues, for without it no virtue is able to remain in the

soul of the man.


Elder Ephraim- Arizona
