The Fruit of Silence

August 2020 | St. James Organ Festival

The fruit of silence is prayer,
The fruit of prayer is faith,
The fruit of faith is love,
The fruit of love is service,
The fruit of service is peace.”

– Mother Teresa

Parents ask their two daughters to be silent while they record a vocal track for a virtual choir. The children play silently. The fruits of their work are paper boats and rainbows. In these difficult times, the little boats give hope and joy as they make their journey through the city.
