Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Today marks the feast day of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta - a beautiful servant of God who is one of our most celebrated mothers and a universal symbol of God's merciful and preferential love for the poor and forgotten.
In her own words:
“By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.”
"God still loves the world and He sends you and me to be His love and His compassion to the poor.”

A wonderful book I have recently read written by Blessed Mother Teresa and edited by Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., Ph.D.: Where There Is Love, There Is God: A Path to Closer Union with God and Greater Love for Others
It's so good to hear her voice and see her face in this video from 1982:
