Mother Teresa:
[I WISH I COULD HAVE MET HERRRR! I guess that is what heaven is for! (; ]
"Make us worthy, Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace and joy.
I heard the call to give up all and f-o-l-l-o-w Christ into the slums to serve Him among the poorest of the poor. It was an o.r.d.e.r.
I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them.
*When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her.
It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.*
You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are h.o.a.r.d.i.n.g., not giving, not sharing.
Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little
child, you receive me.
Everybody
today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and
greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their
parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins
the disruption of peace of the world.
If we really
want to love we must learn how to forgive."
I love Mother Teresa! She is such a woman of the Lord and I am inspired by her passion to serve the poor. I feel like the Lord is calling me to serve a lot more-to go out of my comfort zone and make big sacrifices for Him. I JUST NEED TO GET OFF MY BUTT AND DO IT.
and how about paragraoh two?!?!? It is SOSOSO true! how often do we question God's goodness when people die. maybe, we should be pointing our fingers right back at ourselves, taking a good look in the mirror and asking ourselves what we did to stop it.
