Finding Hope in our Lives

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — harmoni2 @ 10:57 pm

Popes and cardinals often tried to give Mother Teresa hospitals and clinics, even old mansions to house her nuns. But she always said “thanks, but no thanks”. Adding, “God save us from such convents where the poor would be afraid to enter.” Cardinal Cook of New York went still further offering to subsidize her work in the slums of New York. Mother Teresa smiled and answered “Do you think your eminence, that God is going to go bankrupt in New York?” She wanted to be a witness to the providence of god. Like other great leaders before her, she seemed sent to help us trust our faith rather than focus on our wealth and resources. Such ideas grow increasingly difficult to hear amid the noisy distractions of our everyday lives. Its as if the more comfortable our lives become, the more we are tempted to smooth the edges of the hard call to faith. To treat the words of our leaders as if they were only polishing a metaphor.
