Good advice!

"Well, when you spend one hour a day adoring your Lord and never do anything which you know is wrong...you will be fine!"

Mother Teresa's advice to Henri Nouwen

 

In his book, "Spiritual Direction," Henri Nouwen relates a time when he sought the advice of Mother Teresa (I know, right? Two spiritual superstars in the same room! Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall there?)

Anyway, Nouwen says in the book that he was going through a difficult time and he sat there with Mother Teresa, telling her his troubles, "trying to convince her of how complicated it all was." After he finished, she looked at him and gently gave him the advice above.  Incredible.  He said it was like a bolt of lightening.  No matter what we are going through, spending time alone with God, in silence, can give us perspective.  It all goes back to being with God, worshipping God, adoring God.  God is the only way to peace.  Love, heidi
