See my #197. If she did negotiate with any dictators, it was them who were swayed by her holiness, apparent even in her earlier years, and they were the better for it. She found the good in all around her, even the outwardly evil and her detractors. She may have started many convents, but they did not live the high life. Simple saris, donated buildings, often in deep disrepair. Check out their order. Read about Mother Teresa. She was able to see 'the Jesus in everyone'.

LLB already suffers from low self esteem. Let's pray for her.

One person's experience with the Missionaries of Charity in the US.

My 10-year-old daughter has expressed interest in joining the order. I know it's a long way off, but I'm proud of her intention at least.
