Long Synopsis:
I see God in every human being. When I wash the Leper?s woundd, I feel I am
nursing
the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience!
? Mother Teresa
***
Mother Teresa was beloved the world over for her tireless efforts and
service to
millions ol the poor, the outcast, the ill, and the dying. On the path to
sainthood,
she was beatified by the Catholic Church in 2003, just six years after her
death.
Her Essential Wisdom is a collection of hundreds of inspiring quotations
from Mother
Teresa. In the half-century of her public life, she visited and spoke in
more than
one hundred countries about the subjects closest to her heart. The
selections gathered
here, drawn largely from her spoken words, are both simple and profound in
their
wisdom and truth. In these excerpts, Mother Teresa reflects upon the
meaning of love,
the importance of charity and service to the poor, the need for prayer, the
value
of family, the role of suffering, and the absolute dignity of every human
being.
There are also quotations in which Mother Teresa recollects her own calling
to the
religious life, and later, her calling to devote her life to living among
and serving
the poorest of the poor. Here, too, is a selection of quotations from world
leaders,
dignitaries, and religious figures describing Mother Teresa?s powerful
legacy of
faith, compassion, and hope for all humanity.
***
"We should ask ourselves, ?Have I really experienced the joy of loving??
True love
is love that causes us pain, that hurts, and yet brings us joy. That is why
we must
pray and ask for the courage to love."
***
"The poor give us much more than we give them. They?re such strong people,
living
day to day with no food. And they never curse, never complain. We don?t
have to give
them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them."
***
"I do not think I have any special qualities. I don?t claim anything for
the work.
It is His work. I am like a little pencil in His hand, that is all. He does
the thinking.
He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it. The pencil has
only to
be allowed to be used."
***
"I always repeat that we Missionaries of Charity are not social workers. We
may be
doing social work, but we are really contemplatives right at the heart of
the world.
We are with Jesus twenty-four hours a day. We do everything for Jesus. We
do it to
Jesus."
