Hey All—
I recently came across this beautiful story about Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta as told by someone who worked with her.
Archbishop Comastri, who was a collaborator of Mother Teresa, concluded with an anecdote about her. To a photographer who asked her why she seemed so happy, Mother Teresa replied: "My eyes are happy because my hands dry tears. You, do the same: I assure you, it works." Source Zenit.org ZE07030601
How awesome is that? It’s a very fitting quote for this week as we just celebrated Divine Mercy Sunday. We are called to be instruments of God’s Mercy in a world that so badly needs it.
Realize as well that God has a plan for each and every one of us. No single person can dry all the tears in the world. No single person can help all the suffering. But each one of us can help someone. And to that one person, it makes all the difference in the world.
Pray to God, asking what He would like you to do. And then, when He answers your prayer, as He most assuredly will, act on it. Then you too will experience the happiness and fulfillment that animated Bl. Mother Teresa’s life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intentions:
-For all those looking for work.
-For the health and recovery of Fr. Dennis Worzalla—now at Harmony Nursing Home in Stevens Point.
-For all the other intentions you hold in your hearts, we pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.
