More Wisdom from Msgr. Leo Maasburg

When I saw Mother Teresa pray, often pressing her hands right into her face, pressing her nose upward in her profound absorption, it reminded me of the words of Jesus’ disciples who saw the Lord praying and asked him, ‘Lord, teach us also to pray.’ And then Jesus taught them the Our Father. ... When asked what prayer was for her, Mother Teresa answered: ‘God speaks to me—and I speak to Him. It’s that simple. That is prayer.’
