Silence in a prayerful life, not only outward silence, but achieving stillness within.

Prayer Too Deep for Words
Sister Edmée SLG

In this short book Sister Edmée examines the importance of silence in a prayerful life, not only outward silence, but the need to achieve stillness within, and what this means in terms of our approach to God in prayer. She also examines a more active silence: that of Christ when he listened to those who brought their troubles to him for healing. Her words come from a place of understanding and sympathy, encouraging us not to despair in the noise and complexity of modern life, but to persevere in seeking God in the silence of our hearts, in prayer too deep for words.

Her studies in the Convent led to two years learning Hebrew at Leo Baeck College and finally a DPhil, gained at the age of 73. Her dissertation was published as *The Song of Songs and the Eros of God: A Study in Biblical Intertextuality* (Oxford University Press, 2009).
