Mother Teresa's Letter

It was a simple letter but it was quite touching to read. Here is someone who loves God and loves humanity. Truly "something beautiful for God" as Malcolm Muggeridge puts it.

Excerpt from Catholic Herald: Mother Teresa sent me a personal message bashed out on an old typewriter. This is what it said
“…I think today, more than ever the world is upside down and is suffering so much because there is so little love in homes, and in family life people have no time for each other, and I feel if we could only bring back into our families and homes the life that Jesus, Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth, I am sure that peace and joy will be there.

“During this coming Christmas let us pray more fervently for peace, so that there will be peace that comes from respecting the rights of everyone – even the unborn child. Today Jesus comes to us as the unborn child and His own receives Him not. Let many of our Catholic families help young [the] mother-to-be, to welcome the baby in her womb as the gift of God’s love for her and for her family.

“Keep the joy of loving ever burning in your heart and share this joy with others by your love and service. Allow God to use you as His instrument to bring this peace and joy in the lives of all you meet during this coming Christmas.”
