Mother Teresa's Prayer
- Dan Rather asked Mother Teresa what she said to God in prayer, and she replied, "I don't say anything. I listen."
- When asked what God said back, she responded, "He doesn't say anything. He listens."
Silent Love
- Contemplative prayer goes beyond talking or listening to God. It involves silent love and presence, receiving and returning God's love.
Intimacy and Silence
- Intimacy in any relationship, including with God, is measured by comfortable silence together. Deeper relationships find ease in shared presence.
