"There is a light in this world   . . . a healing spirit much stronger than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force . . . where there is suffering, too much pain. And suddenly the spirit will emerge . . . through lives of ordinary people, and answer in extraordinary ways. God speaks in the silence of the heart and we listen."

                  ~ Mother Teresa
