Words: Mother Theresa
The fruit of silence is prayer;
the fruit of prayer is faith;
the fruit of faith is love;
the fruit of love is service;
the fruit of service is peace.
Amen.
One of the results of personal struggle is that it can push you to prayer. For example, during my daily commute I have been turning off the radio and spending time driving in silence. I can say that prayer has been the fruit of that quiet time. I am hoping for the rest to follow.
[Mother Theresa quote from First Things, Feb '05, "While We're At It"]

Sometimes we turn off the radio. Sometimes God turns off the radio for us. Each way leads to him if we in turn let our souls be quieted to hear his gentle and persistent whisper calling us ever forward.
The fruit of it all is Life.
