The day you realize that every thing he ever said makes perfect sense, is a day that will mess up your life forever...in the best and worst way possible. Because it's love, and love does that. :-)TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114855102842020691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-12959783751650176282010-08-29T22:37:24.171-04:002010-08-29T22:37:24.171-04:00I've found Blessed Teresa's simplicity so ...I've found Blessed Teresa's simplicity so deep and profound.

Only later did I come around to the idea that MT could be a Christian model for me in general, if not on the specifics.

Christ's message is simple. That doesn't mean it isn't hard because simple forces us out of ourselves and our own narrow world. I dedicated my blog to Mother Teresa because of her dedication to the poor and suffering. Living as she did is not my calling, but if I can be a caring friend to others, then I thank God for that. A really good post.Barb Schoenebergerhttp://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-49597483798431437982010-07-11T14:56:35.267-04:002010-07-11T14:56:35.267-04:00Lovely.

Turned out my calling was different, but I've always loved how she could set back the secular society on its heels. They couldn't fathom her, but they couldn't discredit her, either.Kathleen@so much to say, so little timehttp://www.kathleenbasi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-81026830535863034562010-07-11T14:36:50.408-04:002010-07-11T14:36:50.408-04:00Isn't that what Christianity really comes down...Isn't that what Christianity really comes down to? People such as MT are such inspirations. Could I live as she did? Probably not... Or at least I can't see myself doing that. But even if I don't join a religious order and labor among the poor, I can simple, but meaningful, things such as visiting the sick or lending a hand to someone in need. <br /><br />Thanks for this beautiful reminder. <br /><br />EvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
