About Mother Teresa

When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread.
But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out of society –
That spiritual poverty is much harder to overcome.
Those who are materially poor can be very wonderful people.
One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street.
And one of them was in a most terrible condition.
I told the Sisters:
“You take care of the other three; I will take care of the one who
Looks worse.” So I did for her all that my love can do.
I put her in bed,
And there was such a beautiful smile on her face.
She took hold of my hand,
As she said one word only: “Thank you” — and she died.
I could not help but examine my conscience before her.
And I asked: “What would I say if I were in her place?“
And my answer was very simple.
I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself.
I would have said: “I am hungry,
I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something.
But she gave me much more — she gave me her grateful love.
And she died with a smile on her face.
Then there was the man we picked up from the drain, half-eaten
By worms and, after we had brought him to the home, he only said,
“I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die as an angel, loved and cared for.”
Then, after we had removed all the worms from his body,
All he said, with a big smile, was: “Sister, I am going home to God” — and he died.
It was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could
Speak like that without blaming anybody, without comparing anything.
Like an angel — this is the greatness of people who are spiritually
Rich even when they are materially poor….
-Mother Teresa











I’ve surrendered everything to you Lord, including this love I have for him. I know that this is beyond my control now. I made a decision to end our relationship, and I have to stick by that decision. I hope that one day, you will change my heart. You will slowly change this love I have for him. And although there are days when I know I’d be okay, there are also times when I’d just break down and cry. There’s still love left in my heart. And I don’t know if I’ll ever get over him. I’ve tried meeting other guys, but my heart still keeps coming back to him! I don’t know if I should be more patient and allow some time for my heart to heal. I just don’t know how long this will last. Please Lord, if he’s not the guy that you want for me, please change my heart. If he’s not the guy for me, I will embrace that truth with all my heart. But I’m praying that you’ll change my feelings. Change my heart and prepare it for what’s to come. I want to follow the road that you’ve mapped out for me, Father. Please help me to accept whatever happens next…
It’s Christmas Eve folks! How are you going to spend yours? Me, I’ll just be with my family at home. Christmas has always been a popular holiday for Christians, but oftentimes, the real meaning behind the celebration is forgotten. We prepare our homes for the season, we buy Christmas trees, decorate our windows with Christmas lights, buy gifts and celebrate, mostly because it’s always been a tradition. But do we really celebrate the REAL reason for the holiday? Some of us do, some of us don’t. Christmas is Christ’s birthday. Hence, His name on the holiday itself. And this celebration should be centered around Him, and not so much around the gifts and merry-making. Gifts and celebrating with family and friends are of course important, but we should know and we should keep in our hearts WHY we are celebrating. This is the day Jesus was born to save us from our sins, and this day is His commemoration. As we celebrate Christmas Eve tonight, let’s honor Jesus with all the glory He deserves. Merry Christmas to all!
