Mother Teresa: Quotable Wisdom

The whole world falls in

May God break my heart so deeply the whole world falls in.

Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God

Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at God's disposition, and listening for Love's voice in the depths of our hearts.

Quote of the Day

Only in solitude can you discover a sense of your own beauty. The Divine Artist sent no one here without the depth and light of divine beauty. This beauty is frequently concealed behind the dull facade of routine. Only in your solitude will you come upon your own beauty.

~ from ANAM CARA by John O'Donohue
