The Wisdom of Mother Teresa
Where to find peace in a fast paced world?
She was a servant of servants. She
dedicated her life to serve the poorest of the poor. She cared for those the world
casted out; she fed and helped them die with dignity. She transformed herself
into a saint in the middle of those living in despair. She saw God daily through
the eyes of the poor living in destitute. What can we learn from this meek and
yet powerful saint?
1) If we pray, we will believe; if
we believe, we will love; if we love, we will serve.
2) We are the wire and God is the electrical
current that passes through us and that is the way to produce light to the
world.
3) True love only comes from true
communion with Christ. True love is the love that causes us pain that hurts,
and yet brings us joy.
4) More people can do great things;
few can do little things with great love. Giving is only effective when it
hurts.
5) The fruit of silence is Prayer.
The fruit of Prayer is Faith. The fruit of Faith is Love. The fruit of Love is
Service. The fruit of Service is Peace.
6) Prayer is not asking, Prayer is
putting oneself in the hands of God, at his disposition, and listening to his
voice the depth of your hearts.
7) Live each day doing your
ordinary duties with extraordinary love and devotion. God demands us to be
fruitful above being successful. The only sorrow in life is sin.
Be blessed, and then be a blessing to others
