George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 13:6

“And Judith stood before the bed praying with tears, and the motion of her lips in silence,”

“Judith. She seems not to have disclosed her secret even to her companion, taking the whole upon herself. — Lips. Greek, “in her heart.” (Calmet) — Yet the Jews generally use some words, (Haydock) thinking that prayer too cold, which is barely mental. (Grotius)”
