توجد صلاة بلا ألفاظ … بلا كلمات …
خفق القلب صلاة… دمعة العين…
صلاة… الإحساس بوجود اللـه صلاة
قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث

There is a prayer without words or utterance … heart’s beat is a prayer … an eye’s tear is a prayer … the feeling of God’s presence is a prayer.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III

إذا جلست على المائدة لتأكل مع الإخوة فلا تتحدث مع أحد وإن حدثوك فلا تجبهم حتى تفرغ من الأكل وأشكر اللـه على جميع أفعاله وعطاياه
القديس إكليمندس

If you sit at the table to eat with the brethrens, do not converse with anyone, and if someone converses with you, do not answer until you finish eating and have thanked God for all His works and gifts.

-St. Clement
