Listening

Once Mother Theresa was asked 
what she said when she prayed. 

She answered that 
she didn’t say anything, 
she listened. 

When asked what God said to her, 
she said that God didn’t say anything; 
He listened back. 

She added that if you didn’t understand, 
she couldn’t explain it further. 

God speaks in the silence of the heart. 
Listening is the beginning of prayer.

~~Mother Theresa
