In this short book Sister Edmée examines the importance of silence in a prayerful life, not only outward silence, but the need to achieve stillness within, and what this means in terms of our approach to God in prayer. She also examines a more active silence: that of Christ when he listened to those who brought their troubles to him for healing. Her words come from a place of understanding and sympathy, encouraging us not to despair in the noise and complexity of modern life, but to persevere in seeking God in the silence of our hearts, in prayer too deep for words.
Sister Edmée SLG (d. 2018) entered the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God in 1966.

She was Editor of SLG Press in the 1970s.
