I was attacking a liberal media (TIME MAGAZINE) in a clever way.

The word cr@p comes from an abbreviation of the last name.

Since we should never use profanity, it was my way of showing displeasure for the TIME article.

When Ted Turner was Chairman of Time-CNN-Warner, he told his employees that anyone of his employees that believed in God were fools.

I felt that the Times article on Mother Theresa was a way to attack Christians.

I was just saying that Time and Ted Turner were full of horse manure...

This was a common prayer before her beatification that was distributed:
Prayer For Mother Teresa

(APPROVED FOR PRIVATE USE BY THE ARCHBISHOP OF CALCUTTA)

God our loving Father, You have exalted the beauty of Your Love for us in the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

She showed the poor and the suffering, the weak and the lonely how much You long to love them — how in their poverty and pain You thirst for them through Jesus Your Son. It was He, hidden in the poor, whom she served as her Lord and loved as her Spouse.

May her example encourage us to recognize Jesus in our brothers and sisters in need and reach out to them with ardor and joy, kindness and compassion, as she did. May her work here continue and we ask You, Dear Father, that through her intercession Your grace will touch our weakness and heal our wounds.

We ask this special favor through the intercession of Your handmaid, Mother Teresa . . . (mention the special favor to be prayed for).

May the beauty of her life, holiness and message be lifted up by the Church, even, as she lifted up the beauty of Your Son’s presence in the precious disguise of the poor. Amen.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Born August 26, 1910 – Died September 5, 1997

This prayer in Spanish:

Oracíon por la Madre Teresa

Dios Padre amoroso, Tú nos has manifestado la grandeza de tu amor en el vida de la Madre Teresa de Calcuta.

Ella reveló todo tu amor al pobre y al sufriente, al débil y al solitario; en su pobreza y en su dolor ella mostró cuánto tú padeces en Tu Hijo Jesús. Fue a él a quien escondido en el pobre, ella sirvió como su Señor y lo amó como su esposo.

Que su ejemplo nos lleve a reconocer a Jesús en nuestras hemanas y hemanos necesitados y nos acerquemos a ellos tal como ella lo hizo, con ardor y con gozo, amabilidad y compasión.

Que su trabajo continúe aqui hoy, y nosotros te pedimos, Padre misericordioso, que a través de su intercesión tu gracia sane nuestra debilidad y cure nuestras heridas.

Nosotros te pedimos que a través de la intercesión de tu sierva, Madre Teresa nos concedas ... (mencionar el favor especial que se desea obtener.)

Que la grandeza de su vida, santidad y mensaje sea elevado por la Iglesia, como ella engrandeció el nombre de Tu Hijo en el precioso rostro del pobre. Amén.

This prayer in Portugese:

Oração por Madre Teresa

Deus Pai amoroso, tu manifestastes a grandeza de teu amor por nós na vida de Madre Teresa de Calcutá.

Ela revelou todo teu amor ao pobre e ao sofredor, ao fraco e ao solitário; em sua pobreza e em sua dor ela mostrou quanto tu padeces em Teu Filho Jesus. Foi a ele, escondido no pobre, que ela serviu como seu Senhor e o amou como seu esposo.

Que seu exemplo nos leve a reconhecer Jesus em nossos irmãos e irmãs necessitados e nos aproximemos deles como ela o fez, com ardor e alegria, amabilidade e compaixão.

Que seu trabalho continue aqui hoje, e nós te pedimos, Pai Misericordioso, que através de sua intercessão, Tua graça cure nossa fraqueza e snae nossas feridas.

Nós te pedimos que através da intercessão de tua serva, Madre Teresa, nos conceda . . . (mencionar a graça especial que se deseja alcançar).

Que a grandeza de sua vida, santidade e mensagem sejam elevadas pela Igreja, assim como ela engrandeceu a beleza da presença de Teu Filho no disfarce precioso de pobre.
