As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, โ Listen and do not hear โ the tongue moves but does not speak โฆ I want you to pray for me โ that I let Him have free hand.
Mother TeresaWe need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother TeresaThe future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today. We have a sentence in our Constitution that says: 'We will allow the good God to make plans for the future - for yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come and we have only today to make Him known, loved and served.' So we do not worry about the future.
Mother Teresa
