The Holy Father eloquently and insightfully continues his theme on the depth of silence for supernatural understanding and direction in life with yesterday's Wednesday audience on the prayer of Christ on the Christ. You've heard of "the seven last words" of Christ from the Cross. Well, Pope Benedict sheds light on the most eloquent and deepest message of Christ from the Cross and the deepest source for the deepening of faith and divine confidence: silence: that of Christ on the Cross, that of man before the mystery of God, and that of the Father in the face of the greatest human tragedy.Verbo crescente, verba deficient! (Saint Augstine).
When the Word of God increases the words of men fail.
