Quotes from Mother Teresa:
"Do not wait for leaders;do it alone,person to person"
"God speaks in the silence of the heart, snd we listen.And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be."
"A clean heart is a free heart.A free heart can love Christ with an undivided love in chastity, convinced that nothing and nobody will separate it from his love."
"we too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God...to be alone with him--not with our books,thoughts and memories but completely stripped of everything--to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant and motionless.We cannot find God in noise or agitation."
Mother Tersea was born on Aug.26,1910 and died on Sept.5,1997.She was canonized on Sept.4,2016 by Pope Francis.
I had the good luck of meeting Mother Teresa when she came to Washington DC with Abp.James Hickey. I had a picture taken of her with the Abp.I did introduced myself to her.When she heard that I was from Chy , she sorrowfully said that she had no convent in Chy. The Spanish Catholics stood on the steps of the Cathedral and sang hymns welcoming her.From there, she went to the White House to meet the President.It was during her stay in Washington that she established two convents in Washington DC-- in some of the poorest areas of the city.
Who an forget the transformation that she brought about in the world!
Today as we celebrate her feast, we shall also keep her message alive in our heart by helping the poor and the abandoned.
