Oh thanks for posting about this, i didnt know, Mother Teresa is someone I have valued for as long as I have known about her, I am amazed when I think of her, and always tell myself "you could give yourself to God the way he is but you make the choice not to go all the way" because she gave it all up for him, which is something that takes courage, but I could go on too much.
Also, children...Orphans, I think children are so special, so innocent, and feel for those who are left without parents, and those children who are abused, they are the most vulnerable. I better go read your link.
God bless
Thanks Carmel for your wonderful insight. I sometimes think of the great many saint who were called to do great sacrifices but when you meditate on what they did, one slowly realizes that God really did it and they were His instruments. Blessed Mother Teresa was absolutely one of the greatest saints of the 20th century! Her love for souls was just endless. Yes, orphans suffer greatly without parents but somehow the Lord provides for them.
God bless you too!
