I John 3:1-3
- See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
- Beloved, we are God’s children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
- And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.

Exemplar of Virtue
St. Teresa of Calcutta. 1910-1997
May 2020
Mother Teresa was on a train in India when she heard God’s call to serve the poorest of the poor. She obeyed him and founded the Missionaries of Charity. She and her sisters took care of the very sick and poor people in Calcutta, picking them up off the streets and giving them a clean bed to lie upon. She was always gentle and patient with those who were suffering, and she taught her sisters to do the same. After she died, the world found out that her joy was the fruit of her patient acceptance of suffering. After that time on the train, Teresa never heard God’s voice again. In fact, she felt like He had abandoned her. She even accepted this with a smile and it opened her heart to show God’s love to others.
