The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy it is being unwanted, unloved and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world dying for a piece of bread, but there are many dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty……..it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of Spirituality! Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

Judging?
If you judge people you will never have time to love them! Mother Teresa
War on Women! Jeremiah 1:5
The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men! It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society! It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -a child- as a competitor, and intrusive and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mother unfettered dominion over the dependent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters and, in granting unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husband’s or other sexual partners! Mother Teresa
Grace Alone! Ephesians 2 : 8-10
While the soul is in mortal sin, nothing can profit it; none of it’s good works merit an eternal reward, since they do not proceed from God as their first principle, and by Him alone is our virtue real virtue! Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582 A.D.) Comment: Jesus said we must be born again! Not just born once but twice! Do you celebrate your second birth? You should know the date if you have had the second birth! James and Hamsa
Great & Small
We cannot do great things but we can do many small things with great love! Mother Teresa
Love Always!
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. Source; Mother Teresa, Calcutta, India.
