We celebrate the Feast of St. Teresa of Calcutta, our spiritual mother and model of selfless love.
"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."
The Mother Teresa Charism:
A Doorway to Eternity and a Visa for Heaven
‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,
naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ (Matthew 25:34-36)
Breathe in me, Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Move in me, Holy Spirit, that my work too may be holy.
Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy.
Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, that I may defend all that is holy. Protect, Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy."
(St. Augustine)
