August 13, 2011 By Jean Wise

Dan Rather, CBS television interviewer, asked Mother Teresa of Calcutta: “When you pray, what do you say to God?”

Teresa: “I don’t say anything, I listen.”

Rather: “Well okay … when God speaks to you, then, what does he say?”

Teresa: “He doesn’t say anything. He listens. … And if you don’t understand that, I can’t explain it to you.”

    Listening is really such a foundation in any relationship but especially with the Lord. Thanks for commenting.
