A Simple Path

As blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul

Mother Teresa | March 2006 (Vol. XIX, No. 3)

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, so we need to listen. For, it is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us that matters. Prayer feeds the soul — as blood is to the body, prayer is to the soul — and it brings us closer to God.
