God forbade...must reading!

Mother Theresa







The poor are, somehow or other- we ourselves.



   If we really want to pray we must first listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks. And to be able to see that silence, to be able to hear God, we need a clean heart, for a clean heart can see God, can hear God, can listen to God.



                                                                                                                   Bhagavad Gita





   We need to find God and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. See how nature, the trees, the flowers, the grass grow in perfect silence- see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.





  The spirit pours love, peace, joy into our hearts proportionally to our emptying ourselves of self indulgence, vanity, anger and ambition, and our willingness to shoulder the cross of Christ. Without our suffering our work would just be social work. Only by being one with us has he redeemed us.







   Our lives to be fruitful must be full of Christ. To be able to bring his peace, joy, and love we must have it ourselves for we cannot give what we have not got, like the blind leading the blind.





Faith, unless it has works, is dead in itself.









Mother Theresa
