As Mother Teresa returned from Oslo, after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 she made a stop in Rome. While in Rome journalists crowded around her to interview her. One journalist asked this provocative one: “Mother, you are 70 years old! When you die, the world will be the same as before. What has changed after so much effort?
Her response was Spirit & Loved filled. She responded, “You see, I have never thought I could change the world. I only tried to be a drop of clean water in which God’s love could be reflected. Does that seem little to you?”
She then said: “Try to be a drop of clean water yourself and then we’ll be two. Are you married?” The journalist said, “Yes, Mother.” Mother said, “Tell that to your wife, too, so there will be three of us. She continued “Do you have children?” The journalist responded, “Three children, Mother.” Mother Teresa then said, “Tell your children also so there will be six of us…”
And so, we should learn to be a drop of clean water so we can reflect God’s love to our family, our friends and all those we meet.
N.B. If you are able to see this movie Mother Teresa: No Greater Love you will not be disappointed. [In Theaters October 3-4, 2022]
May God Be Praised.
