Reading mostly fiction lately … sticking with good ole Mum Theresa this week …
True love causes pain.
Jesus, in order to give us the proof of his love, died on the cross.
A mother, in order to give birth to her baby, has to suffer.
If you really love one another, you will not be able to avoid making sacrifices.
The poor do not need our condescending attitude or our pity. They only need our love and our tenderness.
Someone once told me that not even for a million dollars would they touch a leper. I responded: “Neither would I. If it were the case of money, I would not even do it for two million. On the other hand, I do it gladly for the love of God.”
I pay no attention to numbers; what matters is the people. I rely on one. There is only one: Jesus.
What we say does not matter, only what God says to souls through us.
Do not be afraid of loving to the point of sacrifice, until it hurts. Jesus’ love for us led him to his death.
Peace.
