If You Can't Do Great Things, Mother

Every Human Being Who Has Ever Lived Has Suffered From A Messiah Complex-except One.

We Must Learn To Cast Off Our Anxieties Because We Have So Many Of Them. The World Destroys Spiritual Life By Generating Constant Anxiety. Jesus Said That The Life Of The Gospel Is Choked Out By The Cares Of This World. We Know This To Be True Yet We Are More Chained And Tethered To The World Than Ever Before In The Human Race.

If You Can't Do Great Things, Mother Teresa Used To Say, Do Little Things With Great Love. If You Can't Do Them With Great Love, Do Them With A Little Love. If You Can't Do Them With A Little Love, Do Them Anyway. Love Grows When People Serve.

If We Are Serious About Loving God, We Must Begin With People, All People. And Especially We Must Learn To Love Those That The World Generally Discards.

Every Day You And I Walk Through God's Shop. Every Day We Brush Up Against Objects Of Incalculable Worth To Him. People. Every One Of Them Carries A Price Tag, If Only We Could See It.
