Description
Pilgrimage lasts as long as one’s life, and involves purification, union with God, work and suffering, culminating in the almost miraculous experience of the divine silence. Much of Molchanie is in the way of allegory, full of visions and imagination—it is an allegorical pilgrimage.
Catherine distinguishes between silence and solitude, insisting that silence doesn’t need solitude. One can remain in the silence of God and leave the door of the heart unlatched to be at the disposal of those in need.
“At this time in history we need silence. When it comes out of a heart filled with love, silence is the highest form of communication. Wherever there is loving communicative silence, there is God.”
“We go to Mass and receive Holy Communion—we communicate with God. He enters into us and he becomes part of us. This is done so silently. We receive a piece of bread: God. There is silence between two lovers—God and man. The mystery of God meets the mystery of man. This is where real communication begins—when I am in communion with God, with the Most Holy Trinity.”
“How many of us are silent enough to listen to the other? We don’t listen because we have no inner silence of mind or soul. What does the world need most of all? It needs to touch God. Through silence I realize that I can touch Jesus Christ everywhere.”
