Mother Teresa. “ Silence is Prayer
Prayer is faith
Faith is love
Love is service
Service is the fruit of Peace”

Dear Mary, SEE ! God knew who to chose for this reflection:) You blew it out of the park. I have for several years struggled over the political divide that is revolutionized our world: friends against friends, families torn apart, even the hoarding of toilet paper! We in our own neighbourhoods are surrounded by some form of blazing hatred. Your reference to Mother Teresa’s words and your way of questioning is an example of spiritually defending Gods faith. Thanks also for a great Christmas reflection book to share with friends.

How powerful when Mother Theresa said the Communists were children of God and loved by him. Praying my heart can be open and I can ”see” all as children God loves. Thank you for your reflection.

Thank you Mary. How far would I go? A question we can only answer when the Lord calls. One thing I’m sure of is at that moment your faith will be tested. I pray I pass the test. Wonderful reflection for readings that ask questions of all us. Blessings dear Mary.

With regard to Saint Mother Theresa’s life’s quest of loving her neighbors as she loved herself the Holy Spirit came upon me and kept saying that we needed to come to understand what it means to “love yourself” before they can love others. He mentioned that we need to separate love into two types, earthly and spiritual, and then focus on spiritual love for ourselves (when we do that our love of earthly “loves” will go away). Only when we understand spiritual love of ourselves will we understand how we are to love “others as ourselves” as Jesus stated in the 2nd commandment. He seemed to be strongly suggesting that Spiritual love of ourselves means to become Christlike in our earthly walk. When that happens then we won’t want our neighbors to perform any sinful acts because we wouldn’t want that for ourselves. Therefore, according to the Spirit, we should always strive not to give our neighbors an opportunity to want to say or do something sinful in our presence by what we say or do in their presence.
