She was the first patron saint of Academics MORAL: Saints can be married! We have an opportunity to imitate a holy family. We don’t need to be an enclosed, single and holy hermit

You have to have two posthumous accredited miracles that are instantaneous cures, approved by the Vatican • D.

The conversion of her naughty son to Christianity MORAL: Her son, incidentally, was St. Augustine. There can be miracles, when you believe (and pray), when hope is frail….

He sang to the birds inside the monastery fruit garden D. He built snow figures in the snow at night. MORAL: St. Francis was very human, and faced human temptations as well, just like any of us.

31. Reflect a saint Actual journal entries from: Mother Teresa“Come be my Light – The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta” Compiled by Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C.

32. Preparation for prayer and reflection “Put your hand in His [Jesus’] hand, and walk alone with Him. Walk ahead, because if you look back you will go back.” 1928. Mr Teresa’s words 18 y.o. as she left home to be a missionary

33. [ With his dying breath] “Why does Jesus say “I thirst”? What does it mean? Something so hard to explain in words- … “I thirst” is something much deeper than just Jesus saying “I love you”. Until you know deep inside that Jesus thirsts for you – you can’t begin to know who He wants to be for you. Or who He wants you to be for Him.” Pre-1946. Written for her fellow sisters while still a Loreto Sister. SUGGESTED REFLECTION Do you feel that there is a God that ‘thirsts’ for you? What does your response mean for you today?

34. “I am so afraid Jesus – I am so terribly afraid – let me not be deceived – I am so afraid. – This fear shows me how much I love myself. – I am afraid of the suffering that will come - through leading that Indian life - clothing like them, eating like them, sleeping like them – living with them and never having anything my way. How much comfort has taken possession of my heart.” 1947. Mr Teresa’s second doubt through continuous petition to respond to her calling to establish Sisters of Charity. SUGGESTED REFLECTION How do the comforts you hold on to today, preventyou from responding to God’s call?

35. ‘Tell me, Father, why is there so much pain and darkness in my soul? Sometimes I find myself saying “I can’t bear it any longer” with the same breath I say “I am sorry, do with me what you wish.”’ Post-1950. Early days after establishing Sister of Charity. Mother Teresa often found herself filled with desolation, as if the presence of God was missing. SUGGESTED REFLECTION What does: surrenderloneliness darkness,mean for you in a relationship with God?

36. “My going to U.S. was the hardest act of obedience I had ever had to give to God. Imagine me, this poor little Missionary, without anything natural to attract, in U.S. in front of those thousands of great people. I would die of fear & shyness.” “…What an experience - Thank God it is over- and that every bit was only for Him…” Mr Teresa’s first trip for public speaking, 1985 SUGGESTED REFLECTION What does it mean for you today, to follow God’s calling despite feeling totally unqualified and inadequate?

37. “Be the one… be the one who will satiate the Thirst. Instead of saying “ I thirst” say “ be the one”… do whatever you believe God is asking you to do to be the one to satiate Him.” Btw: Satiate means ‘to satisfy fully’

38. Group discussion “Be the one… be the one who will satiate the Thirst. Instead of saying “ I thirst” say “ be the one”… do whatever you believe God is asking you to do to be the one to satiate Him.”
