Mother Teresa on Faith

As we are called in this Year of Faith to reflect on our Faith and deepen it, this simple meditation from our "guest writer", Mother Teresa might be helpful.
Bro. Rene
THE FRUIT OF PRAYER IS FAITH
If we pray,/ then we will believe.
If we believe,/ the we will love--
because the fruit of Faith is love,
and the fruit of love is service.
Similarly, if we want to deepen our Faith, we must deepen our oneness with Christ.

Without seeing him/ we pray to him,
we turn to him,/ we cling to him,
we love him/ without seeing him.

FAITH
is the most beautiful gift God can give to a human being--
to believe that he IS/ and that Christ IS...
God from God/ Love from Love,
true God from true God,/ begotten, not made;
one in substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made...

And yet he became so small,
he became a human being like us,
to make it possible for us to believe.
To increase our Faith
he made himself the Bread of Life--
even a child can break that Bread,
even a child can eat that Bread.
This is humility in the action of Faith,
and Faith in the action of humility...
                    --Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
