Every Sunday I visit the poor in Calcutta’s slums. I cannot help them, because I do not have anything, but I go to give them joy....O God how easily I make them happy! Give me strength to be always the light of their lives and so lead them to You! ~ Mother Teresa
Despite our imperfections, each of us has the power to bring great happiness to someone else.
Make time today to bring joy to a person in need.

Now I really rejoice when something does not go as I wish - because I see that He wants our trust - that is why [we should] praise God as if we have got everything. ~ Mother Teresa
Even those of great faith are sometimes confused. Do you live your life as though Jesus is merely a good example to follow, or is he truly the Lord of your life?

~ Advent Thought for the Day ~

If you only knew what goes on within my heart - sometimes the pain is so great that I feel as if everything will break. The smile is a big cloak which covers a multitude of pains. ~ Mother Teresa
The saints knew suffering beyond what most of us can imagine, yet bore it with grace. Are you preparing for Christmas with joyful anticipation, or are you letting the strain of a hundred tasks sour your mood? Give everyone you meet today the gift of a smile.
