At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.

The less we have, the more we give. Seems absurd, but it's the logic of love.

I have never found a problem with people from different religions praying together. What I have found is that people are just hungry for God, and be they Christian or Muslim we invite them to pray with us.

Where was Mother Teresa's Jesus? He was in the Bible, in the church, in her prayer, in the Eucharist, in her sisters, in the heart of everyone she met, and especially in the poorest of the poor and the lowest of the low. Jesus was in disguise in each one of them. Jesus was behind the foundation of her order. Jesus was behind all that she did.

If you try, you will find it impossible to do one great thing. You can only do many small things with great love.

Prayer gives us a pure heart and a pure heart can do much.

We need silence to be alone with God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep in our hearts. We need to be alone with God in silence to be renewed and transformed. Silence gives us a new outlook on life. In it we are filled with the energy of God himself that makes us do all things with joy.
