I have another book recommendation for you—Where There is Love There is God. This is a compilation of stories,
insights and quotations from Mother Teresa’s writings and teachings. I have to confess, this is my first
book about Mother Teresa that I have read and I found it to be an excellent
introduction to her work. The
compiler does an excellent job of categorizing her teachings and pulling from
many sources to share her thoughts.
I
thought of Mother Teresa after reading Matthew 25 as this is the Scripture
passage she refers to the most. In
fact, she calls this teaching the five-finger Gospel: “You did it to me.”
As
we begin Lent, be intentional about serving the least of our brothers and
sisters. Who are the hungry,
thirsty, stranger (anyone you don’t know at St. John’s!), naked, ill or
imprisoned in your life? Make the
effort to seek them out and serve them, because what you do to the least you do
to Jesus.
