Prayer: Teresa of Calcutta
I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of
the heart that God speaks. God is the friend of silence – we need to listen to
God because it is not what we say but what God says to us and through us that
matters.
This is indeed a great truth.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I want to teach everyone.
DeleteThat is what I want the RCIA folks to learn also - it is not in our words that God speaks to us but in the silence.
DeleteMany are afraid of the silence. They fear looking at themselves.
