Ainda o silêncio

Muito se falou e se disse a propósito do Silêncio e do seu significado a partir do filme de Scorcese. Deixo-vos aqui este breve apontamento sobre este tópico, colhido em Encounters with Silence, do teólogo jesuíta Karl Rahner: "Every time I try to pray, I am doomed to wander in the barren wastes of my own emptines, since I have left the world behind, and still cannot find my way into the true sanctuary of my inner self, the only place where You can be found and adored. (...) This awful quiet is the sole result of my futile efforts at prayer, since I deliberately shut out the noises of the world, and yet I an still hopelessly deaf to the eloquent sounds of Your silence."
