Please be quiet, without haste.

To gain everything through prayer, to quiet oneself, to remain in silence, to endure, to survive oneself. The Lord God shows the way in silence, concentration, and prayer.
For faithfulness and patience,
for faithfulness and trust,
for faithfulness when it is difficult,
for trust when it is dark,
I ask quietly, without haste.

(Wanda Półtawska /* 1921/, diary entry from August 13, 1963)
