From Benedict XVI's March 7 general audience: Silence has 'the capacity to open a space in our inner being, a space in which God can dwell, which can ensure that his word remains within us and that love for him is rooted in our minds and hearts and animates our lives.'
During Oct. 9 visit to Carthusian monastery in Italy, Benedict called the order's charism 'a precious gift for the Church and the world,' and one that contained 'a profound message for our life and for humanity.'
