April 23, 2024 — Tuesday, Fourth Week of Easter — My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John (Jn 10: 22-30)

Silence is the characteristic that all Christians need in order to be able to work peacefully. Silence also allows us to listen to God's voice, particularly in prayer.
