There is a distinctive drama that perpetually exists between God and man. The nature of this drama involves whether man in good faith engages the virtue of silence to listen to God instead of the choice to listen and engage the noise of the world; an act of despair the devil would prefer you and I to entertain. If a person is cognizant of the potential spiritual danger that exists in shunning the gift of silence, then he would do everything in his power to embrace the grace of silence and remove any noise that would distract you from God.

The ability to be silent and listen to the will of God is a virtue directed toward combating any distraction from God. A conscience attempt to personally engage the Son of God Jesus Christ in silence I argue reveals a desire to have meaningful conversations with Him which strengthens one’s ability to communicate with Jesus but also our fellow brother and sister in Christ.
