Mother Teresa On Prayer

Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself.
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God. At his disposition, and listening to his voice in the depths of our hearts.
Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.
The first requirement for prayer is silence.
People of prayer are people of silence. Silence will teach us a lot. It will teach us to speak with Christ and to speak joyfully to our brothers and sisters.
Praying the Our Father and living it will lead us toward saintliness. The Our Father contains everything: God, ourselves, our neighbors...
