Our Mother of Silence speaks to the MOC as I contemplate the icon of our Lady of Silence:

Through this icon, I desire to draw you into my Heart so that you begin to live in me, immersed with me in the Holy Spirit. This is my desire for the MOC: to enter and live in my cloister, which is my Heart, as my maidens. I live in the presence of our Father, united as one Heart to my Son, and consumed totally in the Holy Spirit, my Spouse. As my maidens of my cloister, you approach the throne of Abba with me and in me; thus, your prayers, being one with me, are blessed abundantly by the Father. He hears the cry of the poor.

The Holy Spirit infused in your being, as you walked in prayer to mass, the knowledge of the multitude of souls that God’s little mustard seed is saving and helping to redeem. This multitude of souls will grow beyond measure as you enter my cloister and live your lives on earth as one with me.
