I know I am touching the living body of Christ, the broken bodies of hungry and suffering, I don't take credit for my work, all I have done is his will. He says everything you do to the brothers, you did it to me, you did it to me. Gods chosen one. Much, much less. I am only a pencil in the hand of god, but it is he, he, who writes..."

When I speak to people about God's love, about his presence among the poor, my words give courage, and I smile. But in my heart of hearts, I cannot smile, there's only darkness.

It's like a wave that washes over me, I can't go on anymore.
With all that money, don't you think we can do something more?
Life is life, let us defend it with a smile helping the weakest, the poor, the sick, the old; defend our children from the culture of indifference and death; defend life from conception to death. And if there's someone who isn't able or capable to do it, entrust it to me.

Because giving is receiving; because it is forgiving that we are forgiven; because it is in dying that we are born into eternal life...

Reflections:
She's a pure and pious idealist.
I guess few can do what she has done nowadays, to conduct charity by begging at the beginning, then by relying solely on individual donations rather than public funding. She's also been criticized by making local poverty known by the rest of the world, which was an embarrassment viewed by local (conservative group of interests) intellectuals.
Spiritually poor is a real impoverishment.
Father, if this is love, it is love and support in profound spirit.
Even Mother Teresa had a time of doubt (self and god), not mention us who are ordinary men and women.
Do good, as a secular being.
