Silence, To Be Silent

    From Wiki Maria Valtorta

    Two great Virtues lead the Soul to charity: Humility and silence.[1]

    In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"

    • Two great Virtues lead the Soul to charity: Humility and silence.[2]
    • Silence is a rule of charity towards others and towards oneself, when one can only say that someone is good and does not want to lie.[3]
    • You, keep silent. The only way to calm anger. Be silent with humility and patience, and if you feel that you cannot do so without rudeness, leave. Knowing how to be silent, knowing how to flee, not out of cowardice, nor because one no longer knows what to say, but out of virtue, out of prudence, out of charity, out of humility. In discussions, it is so difficult to preserve justice![4]
