“It is not possible to engage in the direct apostolate without being a soul of prayer. We must be aware of oneness with Christ, as he was aware of oneness with his Father. Our activity is truly apostolic only insofar as we permit him to work in us and through us with his power, with his desire, with his love.” SoulDesireFatherChristPrayerActivityDirectOnenessPermitHis LoveApostolic Book:Mother Teresa: Essential Writings Source: Mother Teresa: Essential Writings

“God, the supreme being, is neither circumscribed by space, nor touched by time; he cannot be found in a particular direction, and his essence cannot change.

“A democracy flirts with the danger of becoming a slave in direct ratio to the numbers of its citizens who work, but do not own / or who own, but do not work; or who distribute, as politicians do, but do not produce. The danger of the "slave state" disappears in ratio to the numbers of people who own property and admit its attendant responsibilities under God. They can call their souls their own because they own and administer something other than their souls. Thus they are free.” PeopleSoulStatesWisdomPoliticsNumbersResponsibilityEconomyDemocracyDangerProduceBecomingCitizensPoliticianDirectPropertySlaveDisappearLiberalismFlirtingRatios Author:Fulton J.
