“There is a story of a little robin,” Mother Teresa told her Sisters. “He saw Jesus on the cross, saw the crown of thorns. The bird flew around and around until he found a way to remove a thorn, but in removing it the thorn stuck to himself. Each of us should be that bird...”

Mother Teresa understood that God’s kingdom comes in every act of love. “I believe God loves the world through us, through you and me” she said.

It may happen that a mere smile, a short visit, the lighting of a lamp, writing a letter for a blind man, carrying a bucket of charcoal, offering a pair of sandals, reading the newspaper—may, in fact, be our love of God in action. Listening, when no one else volunteers to listen, is without doubt a very noble thing...’

Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love...

with love and prayers
