That experience is something that really holds onto you. I was blessed to be able to visit when she was still living and accepting visitors. I’ll never forget that experience. Ever. I have thought of her so often. I barely knew who she was before I went (self-absorbed high schooler), but she made such an impact on me. </p> Oh my.

I prayed for all those 60+ people that died sick and isolated.  They didn’t have Mother Teresa’s hand to hold.  And may be we failed them in terms of medical treatment. </p> <p> Thank you for lifting these children up so that we can see them.  So that we can help them. </p> <p> All of you are a great witness to God’s love. </p> Mother Teresa has been on my mind and I too blogged about her last night.

Thank you for lifting these children up so that we can see them.  So that we can help them.

All of you are a great witness to God’s love.

So wise and lived it on a daily basis. Love what you have to say about it being a reciprical relatinoship between child and sponsor. We’ve talking about mentoring a lot lately and how it isn’t just the older man pouring wisdom into the younger but the younger pouring life into the older. When you give, you are very rarely left with less than you started. </p> She is so inspirational. So wise and lived it on a daily basis.

If there’s one thing that can be said about Kosovar Albanians, it’s that they are among the most discriminated against people on the planet.  I wonder how that experience of being born into the margins helped shape Mother Teresa in being able to love without condition.  And I wonder how we can learn to love out of our own little ways of being outsiders. </p> <p> Can’t wait to hear more about Kolkata. </p> Wow.  I visited her birthplace in Skopje, Macedonia last year.  The house isn’t even there anymore; it’s just a marker on the ground now.  Her family wasn’t Macedonian Serb like most of their neighbors; they were Kosovar Albanians.

Can’t wait to hear more about Kolkata.
