Contemplative Haven

Living icons.  We know it is possible.  We’ve witnessed it.  We must search our hearts to discover what is hindering us.  What is holding us back?

Prayer to Jesus 

by Mother Teresa, read by Bill Simpson on the CD entitled, “Quotations and Affirmations that Sustain, Inspire and Empower”. 

St. Teresa of Avila lived it and taught it several centuries ago.  Mother Teresa lived it and taught it several years ago:

• the fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith
• the fruit of faith is love
• the fruit of love is service
• the fruit of service is peace

A clean heart.  A heart free of selfish clingings.  A heart unencumbered by disordered attachments.  A heart beating in unison with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  It all begins with prayer.
