The Virgin of Silence

SPANISH The book offers the Novena, the Rosary, and some prayers to Our Lady of Silence. At the heart of these pages is the spirituality of silence, which develops around the icon of Our Lady of Silence found in the Italian region of Abruzzo, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Silence in Avezzano (AQ). The spirituality of silence is a silent journey of prayer, docility, and discernment, following the model of the Virgin Mary's journey. Indeed, silence is one of the fundamental characteristics of the Mother of God, who keeps all the mysteries of the Son in the treasure chest of her mother's heart. May she teach us a silence rich in prayer. ITALIAN The book offers the Novena, the Rosary, and some prayers to Our Lady of Silence.
