Meditative Silence

The General Instruction calls for periods of meditative silence in Mass, especially in the Liturgy of the Word: The Liturgy of the Word is to be celebrated in such a way as to promoted meditation, and so any sort of haste that hinders recollection must clearly by avoided… it is also appropriate to include brief periods of silence… in which, at the prompting of the Holy Spirit, the word of God may be grasped by the heart and a response through prayer may be prepared.
