We praise and thank you O God our heavenly Father in giving us today a modern saint who had lived in our midst, in our own time: St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
What is really joyful in celebrating her memorial today is the very fact you are real! You exist, O God! because right among us in this modern time when everyone either discards you or disregards you, we have met and encountered – personally or on TV and media – a “living saint” whose focused was YOU among the poorest of the poor. St. Mother Teresa had taught us in this modern time what St. Paul insisted to the Corinthians of his time that “we are God’s co-workers; we are God’s field, we are God’s building” (1Cor.3:9) and we have no any right to brag about our “spirituality” or “holiness”.

Thanks Fr. Nick for inspiring us with your words of wisdom…that we should concentrate on God and others than our selves…how I wish I could follow those beautiful words everyday of my life..as my 80th birthday will be celebrated in two weeks time and it would really mean so much to me if my favorite Priest is present, however, your prayers would be more than enough to cover up your absence…please pray for my 80th bithday celebration on Sept 15th to be very successful and meaningful as this will be attended by many friends and relatives…thank you so much and God bless…T-Fem
