Silence is an integral part of the liturgy and personal prayer

Marin Škarica ; Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Split, Split, Croatia

Abstract

Starting from the recommendation of the Council constitution of the liturgy to "maintain the sacred silence at the right time" (SC30), the author first presents evidence of the re-discovery of the value and the need for silence in the liturgy and personal prayer based on the Church's instructions and the presentation of verified spiritual writers. Silence is specially elaborated based on Scriptural practice: God's silence, man's silence, Jesus's silence, the Mary's silence, the silence of the Blessed Women. Instructions for silence in the documents and ceremonies of the post-Council liturgy are concluded by this study.
