Plain Catholics in the Mountains and Valleys: Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12

Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.
St. John Paul II

I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI

But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

My Favorite Photo of the Saint of Calcutta

Sunday, Sept. 4th is the canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta in which she'll officially be declared a saint. This petite woman changed the world one destitute person at a time.

Mother Teresa went out and picked up each person from the gutter and brought them into her shelter to be cared for. We've been privileged to live in Mother Teresa's lifetime and witness her example of true discipleship to Christ. Let's resolve to follow Jesus as she did: with trust and holy boldness.
