Thoughts On A Monday Afternoon

Be sincere in your prayer.
Do you know how to pray?
Do you pray your prayers?
Do you love to pray?
When we come face to face with
God we cannot but be sincere and
know ourselves- that we are
nothing. It is only when we realize
our nothingness, our emptiness, that
God can fill us with Himself. When we
become full of God we will do
all our work well.

Mother Teresa

"Do you pray your prayers?'

I could meditate on that alone all day! You're so calming, Beth, and this blog is so calming. Thanks for posting this!

I know so convicting and so difficult- too many stupid thoughts parading through my head. I loved this quote so much following the Gospel reading on Sunday of the Good Samaritan and the likening of us as the person lying by the side of the road for dead- our nothingness and God's goodness. Thank you for you kind comments.
