“I want Indian Nuns…who would be My fire of love amongst the poor, the sick, the dying and the little children. The poor i want you to bring to Me and the sisters that would offer their lives as vicims of My love–will bring these souls to Me. You are…weak and sinful, but just because you are that–i want to use you for My glory. Will thou refuse? Little one, give Me souls–give Me the souls of the poor little street children. How it hurts, if you only knew, to see these poor children soiled with sin. i love for the purity of their love. If you would only answer and bring Me these souls–draw them away from the hands of the evil one. if you only knew how many little ones fall into sin every day. there are plenty of nuns to look after the rich and well to do people–but for My very poor, there are absolutely none. For them i long–them i love. Wilt thou refuse?
My little one–come–come–carry Me into the holes of the poor. Come be My light. i cannot go alone. They don’t know Me, so they don’t want me. You come, go amongst them, carry Me with you into them. How i long to enter their holes, their dark unhappy homes. Come be their victim.In your immolation–in your love for ME, they will see Me, know Me, want Me…you are afraid. how your fear hurts Me. Fear not. it is i who am asking you to do this for Me. Fear not. even if the whole world is against you–it is i in you, with you, for you. You will suffer–suffer very much–but remember i am with you.”
Mother Teresa’s letters, where she writes down what Jesus said to her.
i am glad i am not the only one who does this…
i want to go to India. Someday.
“I am not feeling well,” She said, “And i’m tired.” When she said that, it was as though God was telling me she was going to die. my concern for myself suddenly shifted to her. and by looking into those eyes, i saw it and took it in as though it were a gift. it was suffering. in some strange way, i felt the vast suffering Mother Teresa had witnessed. it was a suffering i had experienced before but rejected, because it had been too much for me. now, years later, the suffering had returned. it had come full circle; only now i had grown enough to accept it. “Do everything for God…” Mother Teresa continued. “God has given you many gifts–use them for the greater glory of God and the good of the people. Then you will make your life something beautiful for God; for this you have been created. Keep the joy of loving God ever burning in your heart, and share this joy with others. That’s all.” –William Elliott
