\n\u201cI strongly urge the priests to observe this moment of silence, don't be in a hurry. Let us pray in silence. I urge the priests to do this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cDuring the penitential rite and after the invitation to pray, it helps with concentration; after the reading or homily, it's a call to briefly meditate on what was heard; after communion, it encourages interior prayer of praise and petition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
