Mother Teresa from Prayer to Peace
The fruit of silence is prayer;
the fruit of prayer is faith;
the fruit of faith is love;
the fruit of love is service,
the fruit of service is peace.
Blessed Mother Teresa is known for this saying (among thousands more), it was this prayer that she had on a card–her “business” card of sorts.
I found this saying to be a powerful mantra and it was in my wallet during my 20’s as a reminder of how things should be . . . a couple of decades later I’m ready to embrace the seed that was planted.
I believe that prayer is very powerful. I believe that prayer is not only words spoken but our actions as well. I believe that it is hard work to devote your life to God–whether you are a nun or not.
Some days are easier than others. Some seasons of life it is easier to find time to slow down and quiet ourselves to listen to what God intends for us. I think that sometimes God is happy knowing that we got that far.
Be blessed on your journey of today.
