Today Cardinal Sarah narrates a visit that St. Teresa of Calcutta had by Angelo Comastri who is now the Cardinal Archbishop of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. When the priest first called requesting to visit St. Teresa, he was told no, because she did not have time. He went anyway, was again told that St. Teresa was too busy to see him. He was persistent and eventually St. Teresa came out to see him. He was a new priest and wanted St. Teresa to pray for him.She asked him a question that surprised him, how much time did you spend in prayer each day? He began to rattle of everything he did:  Mass, Rosary, Divine Mercy…He was surprised when St. Teresa told him that that was not enough. He thought she would have told him to do acts of charity, but she told him, he need to pray more, to give God the maximum.  Without God present in our hearts through prayer, all the actions that we do are meaningless.St Teresa’s giving was not of monetary donations but of her love and time for those around her.  She once said, “Do ordinary things with extraordinary love.”She also said, “Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put into action that we do.”Matthew chapter 25 says “Truly I tell you, whatever you do for the least of my brothers you do for me.” But we can do nothing without the help of God. And how do we ask for the help, in prayer.Take away: how much time do you spend in prayer?
