Gandhi and Matthew 25

...a life of service...is the best preaching.

"There was a queen, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, who was a holy person, but her husband was rather cruel. Yet she treated him as she would treat Christ. She had a mother-in-law who was jealous of the love her son bore his wife. One day Queen Elizabeth offered hospitality to a leper and even gave him her husband's bed to lie on. The mother-in-law, seeing this, seized the opportunity to set her son against his wife. The husband dashed angrily into the room but to his surprise he saw the figure of Christ on the bed. Elizabeth could have acted thus only because she was convinced she was doing it to Christ himself."-Mother Teresa

We must...be proud of our vocation which gives us the opportunity to serve Christ in his poorest. It is in the slums that we must seek to go and serve Christ.

Mother Teresa and Matthew 25

"It is Jesus in the poor that you feed, clothe, and take in"
