Mother Teresa - “Only The Good” Friday

The first time I remember seeing Mother Teresa was the night she received the Nobel Peace Prize,  in 1979.   That evening, she stood before the world as example of doing good… and that it was possible to bridge cultures, classes and religions with caring and love.   When Mother Teresa received the prize, she was asked, “What can we do to promote world peace?” She answered “Go home and love your family.”

She and her Missionaries of Charity worked tirelessly among the poorest of the poor.  She established  hospices centers, a home for the dying,  orphanages and leper houses all over India.  She the expanded the order throughout the globe.   At the time of her death, at the age of 87,  the Order of the Missionaries of Charity had over 4,000 sisters, an associated brotherhood of 300 members, and over 100,000  lay volunteers, operating 610 missions in 123 countries.

Today…. on this “Good Friday… I give tribute to Mother Teresa, who is one of my shining stars.    For you… here are  three of my favorite Mother Teresa quotes.  You can download them free HERE and print them. (Be patient with the download… the file is large.)  Place them on your desk, counter top or fridge… as a reminder of the good we can do for each other.

Join my friends today… and check out their posts for “Only The Good” Friday.   Sheila…..  Shelly..…  If you would like to be one of my OtGF friends…write a post on your site… and make a comment on mine.  I will include you next week.

P.S.  Mother Teresa started her mission at the age of 18.  She left the home of her mother and father, and never saw them again.   What a sacrifice… what a woman.
