Jan 21, 2011 Friday: Mother Teresa on Temper
Excerpt from
Where There Is Love, There Is God: A Path to Closer Union with God and Greater Love for Others by Mother Teresa
Our Temper
Our lives must be connected with the living Christ in us. If we do not live in the presence of God, we cannot go on. One thing more is lacking--silence. When there are two together, they start talking. Then, without silence, there will be no good prayers. We must also control our temper. Temper means pride. We must control our temper for the love of God. In a good, ordinary family, it does not happen that we are losing our temper and answering back. It should not happen here, either.
