    Daily Inspiration

    "We cannot find God and God cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature -- trees and flowers and grass -- grow in silence. See the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life."
    -- Mother Teresa
