"LOL, as a matter of fact, and sadly, I have heard that claim about her before."

"What we are all trying to do by our work, by serving the people, is to come closer to God. If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are, and then by being better we come closer and closer to Him. If we accept Him fully in our lives, then that is conversion. What approach would I use? For me, naturally, it would be a Catholic one, for you it may be Hindu, for someone else, Buddhist, according to one's conscience. What God is in your mind you must accept."

--Mother Teresa

Ooops.

No "oops." Mother Teresa reflected perfectly her mission to the poor in India. She ministered to them, no matter what faith they expressed.

Do you only deal with Catholics in your daily life?
