PS 7

This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you!... St. John XV, 12.

1 Silence is the sweet language

Of the angels' and all the elect.

It must also be the lot

Of souls who love each other in Jesus.

2 It is only in the midst of sacrifices

That we can love one another in Carmel.

One day, inebriated with delights,

We'll love each other in Heaven.

Silence Is the Sweet Language...
