"O Lord,

in the silence of this night,

let me hear the voice of my neighbors,

so often drowned out

by the clamor of my own needs.

Let me not fool myself into thinking 

that I can hear Your voice

if I do not listen to theirs.

You speak to me in the voice of my neighbors.

I cannot claim to love you

if I do not love them

even as I love myself.

Help them, I pray,

to carry their burdens,

even as I hope, with your help,

to carry mine."

(Taken from 'Let Nothing Disturb You', Teresa of Avila)
