A Thought


“I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts, there will be no more hurt; only more love.”  - Mother Teresa

Looking more closely into the life of an extraordinary person who believed she did only ordinary things, Mother Teresa exemplified all that is right with Christian doctrine and practice even within what she believed were her imperfections!  She obeyed the command of our Lord among predominantly Hindus and did not worry about whether they converted and did not ask their religion.  In the end I think it can be said that she saved many souls because of the true Gospel her charges witnessed at work in their lives amidst their suffering.  To give until it hurts and then give even more can be attributed to our Lord’s promise that the more we give, the more we will receive because it is in giving so freely by which we prove to our Lord we can be trusted with His most precious gifts.

May we all be so divinely trusted!

Blessings,
Michael
