Silence is praise for You.

St. Jerome , (Sept. 30th) translates one Hebrew phrase in Psalm 65 “Silence is praise for you” (silentium tibi laus).

Our bus pilgrimage brought 45 pilgrims to Immaculate Conception Church to offer prayers and Mass in honour of the Madonna Addolorata, (Mother of Sorrows) as she beholds her Son’s lifeless body following his Crucifixion. We look upon the Mother of Sorrows who’s silence brings to mind a deep, reverent stillness, a grief that accepts God’s Will, an internal acknowledgment of God’s power and grace; which through the Resurrection transforms the wounds of Him ‘who became sin for us’ to be Holy and Glorious, healing, forgiving, restoring our human dignity, brothers and sisters all, children of God.
