What is "prayer in action?

 LOVE is prayer in action. Prayer is never an escape from direct involvement with the many needs and pains of our world. Prayer challenges us to be fully aware of the world in which we live and to present it with all its needs and pains to God.It is this compassionate action. Prayer and action go together. If prayer leads us into a deeper unity with the compassionate Christ, it will always blossom into concrete of service. And if concrete acts of service do, indeed, lead us into a deeper solidarity with the poor, the hungry, the sick, the dying,and the oppressed, these acts will always thrive with prayer. in prayer we meet Christ, and in him all human suffering. In service we meet people, and in them the suffering Christ. Mother Teresa was a woman of prayer and her prayer was expressed by the action of which we all are aware.
