Book #1 - A Simple Path
by Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa had a business card that she would hand out. It had five lines.
The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.This book is an explanation, or breakdown, of this simple path to peace. It has small stories from Mother Teresa's own life that illustrate the impact this path can have.
When I was in high school I listened to music that was known as heavy metal. I have to say that all the nuances of music genres escape my understanding. I always had the radio playing; in my room, in the car, a portable CD player when I was riding with my parents, even when I went to sleep I had music going.
I was seeking truth and I was seeking peace. I didn't know it consciously, but that's what I was looking for. Apparently I found something in heavy metal music. I would
listen to music to remedy my restlessness.
Somehow I acquired Mother Teresa's
A Simple Path. It is Mother Teresa's path to peace. I don't remember how I came across this book, but it must have been during my junior year of high school. I started reading it and the first step is
silence. I shut off the radio immediately, in my room, in the car, no more headphones. This resulted in my exit from the heavy metal world, and I have had no desire to return.
I have found greater peace in my life following this path that was described by Blessed Mother Teresa. If you are looking for peace in your own life, I recommend
A Simple Path!
