Our Lady of Silence

Pope Francis has often spoken about the damage we can do by speaking ill of others and about the value of listening to God in the silence of our hearts.

The icon of the Mother of God with her finger pressed to her lips has been placed in a prominent position in the Vatican offices by the Holy Father.

In this booklet, Fr Emiliano Antenucci gives a brief history of the meaning behind this icon, followed by a rich selection of devotions to Our Lady of Silence, enabling us to pray this devotion with the Holy Father.
