When Mother Teresa spoke to us in 1982 she told the story of a woman lying in the gutter, whom everyone passed by. She stopped, stooped down, and scooped up her hand. The woman looked up at her and said, “Do you know how long it has been since I have felt the warmth of a human hand?”
There you go.
Those who haven’t worked out what “God is love,” means will tend to miss the importance of that. St. Teresa was evangelizing.
