You are sent not to teach but to learn: learn to be meek and humble of heart. That is just what Jesus has asked us to do: “Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart.”
You are sent to serve and not to be served: Go to serve with a humble heart. Never escape the hard work. Be always the first one to do it.
Go to be a cause of joy to your communities.
Go with zeal and love for the poor.
Go in haste, like Our Lady, to serve.
Choose the hardest thing. Go with a humble heart, with a generous heart. Don’t go with ideas that don’t fit into our way of life: with big, big ideas about theology and what you would like to teach, but rather go to learn and to serve.
Share what you have received, with a humble heart.
Go to the poor with great tenderness. Serve the poor with tender, compassionate love.
Say yes to peace with your tongue. Close your mouth rather than speaking a word which will hurt anyone.
Go to give yourselves without any reservation. Give yourselves wholeheartedly, unreservedly
~Bl. Theresa of Calcutta
Dear Mother Teresa, pray for us to be as much in love with Jesus as you were! Amen.
