Mother Teresa was once asked by an interviewer what she said to God when she prayed. “I don’t say much,” replied Mother Teresa, “mostly I just listen.” “And what does God say to you?” asked the interviewer. “He doesn’t say much,” she replied. “Mostly He just listens. And if you don’t understand that, I can’t explain it to you.”
Kind of reminds me of those times when you're with a good friend and you just... "hang out." That's the kind of friend I want to be with God. You know, where neither one of us has to try to impress the other. Hmm. I am glad Br. M. posted this today.
Peace. Yep, that's part of the revolution.

You've been busy, Danno....I don't read ya for five minutes and you have a dozen posts :).
Love how you steer me around the blogosphere--I don't have to (always) hop myself, I can depend on you (and others) to get me to some great posts. Like this one.
Wow. I'm over at my place talking coffee, and you're here with some REAL stuff. Loved the "word of advice" from yesterday, like this on prayer today. Not much time to get into the "whys", but MT's quote is simply...beautiful. I'll be reading Brother Maynard's complete post as time permits, but for now, thanks for passing it along.
I wanna be her when I grow up. Except I've had sex.
Thanks Robin. Good luck with that MT thing. And... skim milk's not so bad. :)
