Little Sister MagdeleineYou must know how to keep interior silence and how to practise interior prayer in the midst of all that is going on around you. Otherwise you would go adrift, and you would no longer be lovingly united with Jesus in all you do. Then too you will have to know how to come back with joy to outer silence whenever the Lord’s will does not call you to another duty.
Little Sister Magdeleine (1898–1989)
