Reflection

On this day in 1997, Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India. Her holiness and her love for the poor were known all over the world. She made a solemn promise to give 'wholehearted and free service to the poorest of the poor'. She was declared a saint at this time in 2022.

Those who follow her are called Missionaries of Charity. They serve the sick and the dying who have no one else to care for them, bringing God's love to forgotten corners of crowded cities.

Prayer 

God our Father, 

may all of life’s experiences 

lead us to grow as people 

who always put love 

into all that we do. 

May we live in such a way 

that our attitude and words and actions 

reflect to all people

 their own value, 

dignity and self-worth, 

helping people to feel wanted 

and appreciated 

for who they are.

Amen.
