Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said: "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
The greatest challenge facing the western world is not violence from without, but the tragic decision to take a life within.
Thank you for this and all your hard work.
It is a blessing for me to reflect on Mother Teresa’s life and work during this troubled time; watching the DNC convention has me climbing the wall, and it is comforting to know that there are greater matters to tend to than politics.
Still. Difficult.
We had a priest at our church who told us a true story about Mother Teresa. He said that when he was a young seminarian student in New York, she came to the city and wanted to visit with the seminarians. They were all excited and waiting to see her. It was a very cold and snowy day, and when she arrived, they noticed she was barefoot. They asked her where her shoes were and she said she had seen a homeless woman on the streets without shoes and had given them to her. They were all astonished.
