One day, we picked up a man off the street who looked like a fairly well-to-do person. He was completely drunk. He couldn't even stand up because he was so drunk!
We took him to our home. The sisters treated him with such love, such care, such kindness. After a fortnight, he told the sisters, "Sisters, my heart is open. Through you I have come to realize that God loves me. I've felt his tender love for me. I want to go home." And we helped him get ready to go home.
After a month, he came back to our home and gave the sisters his first paycheck. He told the sisters, "Do to others what you have done to me." And he walked away a different person. Love has brought him back to his family, to his children's tenderness, to his wife's understanding love.
Mother Teresa "A Life For God"
Lord teach us how to love and how to have the courage to share. Your will is our joy. You said, "However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all." Ecclesiastes 11:8
