Pope Benedict XVIGod is our Father and loves us, even when his silence remains incomprehensible.
About This Quote
The truth is that God is always silent. Being silent doesn’t mean that He’s not there, because He is always there. Our senses can’t perceive His presence, but what we can perceive are the effects of His presence. It’s important to understand these things so that we can be quiet enough to hear His voice, which will always speak words of hope, love, and peace.
