THOUGHTS FROM DEB
Mother Theresa died September 5, 1997 at the age of 87 years old. She
dedicated her entire adult life with emphasis on spirituality. Her faith
gave her the power to work for humanity, do everything she could to feed
the poor, heal the sick and shelter the homeless. A woman to honor and
respect because she stood by her convictions throughout the end. The world
will surely miss her dedication and her goodness.

Conservative Catholic spokesperson aside, M. Teresa was a powerful woman
in the church, and in the world. She was a living example of the values
that she shared with the world and she refused to compromise those values.
She stood her ground against church and governmental leaders in her adopted
country and in the world. Her message of 'do something beautiful for God'
by helping the poor in your life every day has been and will continue to
be an example for me as it has been for the past 15 years. (The poor being
not just economically, but spiritually poor.) Pax Teresa and may you rest
peacefully with your Creator.

Thank you special Lady for not breaking a vase...but for being one...
Unconditional Love was shown to the world through every moment of your
life. I am happy to have lived during your time of life.

Mother Theresa showed us all that saints can live in the 20th century.
So many times we have good intentions that don't get followed up on. She
followed up on her good intentions. Her deeds spoke loudly to us all. Because
of this we all listened to her words. Whether we agreed with all her beliefs
or not we could respect her because she lived hers. We can all learn much
from her. She showed us that one woman could and did make a difference.
As a Catholic I plan to pray to her for strength of conviction. The world
is a better place because Mother Theresa lived her faith.

So many of us vicariously did, through both Mother Theresa and Princess
Diana, what we'd like to do if we had the money/support/time/connections.
Sure, we do what we can, but these people made obvious changes to entire
countries.
I trust their deaths will, once the grieving is done, spark all of us
to pick up where Mother Theresa and Princess Diana left off: To stay aware
of compassion, to do whatever we do with love, and to remain available
to our own people, including our often-overlooked families.
I have heart disease. Once day, in a major L.A. department store, I
went into V-tach very suddenly. I was near a phone, but couldn't stand.
With my vision blurred, I couldn't tell a Susan B. Anthony dollar from
a quarter. All my Acute Cardiac Care information spilled from my purse.
Not one single solitary soul stopped to help. No one. Not one word. The
most I got was what I believe was a look of annoyance that I was in the
way. I gave up on humanity that day, but looking at Princess Diana and
Mother Theresa on TV yesterday, I thought " THEY would have stopped. Somebody
in the world cared."
There's a lesson, a painful one, in their deaths.

Mother Theresa was and will always be a truly inspiring person. Her
physical presence will be greatly missed, but she will always remain in
our hearts. Bless her.

I strongly disagree with the characterization that "Mother Theresa was
a known as an advocate for conservative values. She was a holy woman who
dedicated her life in service to the wretched poor. Those dying of starvation,
leprosy, cholera, etc. in India. We in the U.S. have no real conception
of the poverty in those developing countries. Yes, she was opposed to abortion,
as a member of the Catholic clergy. Her main life focus was her work with
the people she served.

A Prayer
Our Heavenly Father
Thank you for loaning us Mother Teresa and Princess Diana.
Thank you for instilling within all of us more of their faith;
and more of their drive for giving love and compassion to the sick, the
poor and those that feel or might seem unlovable.
Thank you for healing more and more alcoholics every day in our
world.
Thank you for giving the paparazzi and all journalists new rules
of joy and success within their hearts that prevent them from hurting and
even killing people that so many of us love and enjoy.
Thank you for helping all of humanity focus less on who to blame,
who to hate and whats unfair; and more on what each of us can do to fill
this great void that was created when Mother Teresa and Princess Diana
left this earthly plane to come home to you.
Thank you for helping all of us connect with the joy of doing
good works in the service of others less fortunate.... in spirit as well
as body.
Thank you for reminding us that *worry* is the absolute proof
of a lack of faith.
Thank you most for those who choose to read this with all good
faith and refusal to doubt.
For *working* together with faith, we too can move mountains.
- Amen.
I believe that every person who shares this prayer will be responsible
for more than a thousand tears of joy spilled in heaven. I believe if we
*all* help - those tears will make a river of joy. That belief gives me
peace today. My faith in your love for our Mother Teresa and our Princess
Diana gives me joy today. Thank YOU. May God Bless YOU.
