Let Him do with me whatever He wants, as He wants, for as long as He wants. If my darkness is light to some soul----even if it be nothing to nobody-----I am perfectly happy----to be God's flower in the field.----Mother Teresa, from "Come Be My Light"
Is there a burning desire deep within us to live only for Jesus? Is there a fire in the soul to be on fire for the things of God? Is there pain inside when we sin against His love? Is there a craving for union with the Trinity?! Is there a growing awareness of the needs of those around us? These are the questions we should stick on our refrigerators. These are the questions that lead us to honesty, humility, hunger, and holiness. Mother Teresa is the worlds example of burning for God and for those around us. She saw Jesus in every person she met, especially the suffering. In a time when everyone is worried about the economy, let us be people who are concerned with holiness, love, and giving ourselves away.
Lord, have mercy on us all.
