In the Season of Lent when we strive to offer more fruitful prayer, when we try to make our prayers more reverent and purposeful, I offer you this reflection by Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.In reality there is but one prayer, only one substantial prayer. Jesus Himself.
In your life Jesus comes as the Bread of Life to be eaten to be consumed by you. This is how He loves you. Then He comes as the hungry one, the Other, hoping to be fed with the bread of your life, with your heart by loving, your hands by serving.
Jesus has drawn us to be souls of prayer.
Jesus is our prayer, and He is also the answer to our prayer. He has chosen to be Himself in us the living song of love, praise, adoration, thanksgiving, intercession and reparation to the Father in the name of the whole creation (unpublished.).

Blessed Mother Theresa always spoke such words of wisdom.

That is so beautiful. It makes me think on how God is the love with which we need in our poverty and also the love in which we give to others in theirs.

I had never read this before and what she says is so profound, and yet so simple.
