Wisdom from Christoph Cardinal Schönborn

God’s call went out to John ‘in the wilderness’. In order for God to speak to me, I must hear him. In order to hear, I need a certain degree of quiet. That is why John was in the wilderness. The silence there is so complete that one’s heart is quieted and starts to hear. In our world today, silence has become a rare commodity. That is why it is so important to me that our churches are open.

—Christoph Cardinal Schönborn from Jesus, the Divine Physician
