an excerpt from Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light…
You might think that I am looking only at the joy of giving up all, and bringing joy into the Heart of Jesus. Yes, I look at these most, but I see also what suffering the fulfillment of these two will bring. By nature I am sensitive, love beautiful and nice things, comfort and all the comfort can give–to be loved and love.–I know that the life of a Missionary of Charity–will be minus all these. The complete poverty, the Indian life, the life of the poorest will mean a hard toil against my great self love. Yet, Your grace, I am longing with a true, sincere heart to begin to lead this kind of life–so as to bring joy to the suffering Heart of Jesus.–Let me go, Your grace–let us trust Him blindly.–He will see to it that our faith in Him will not be lost.
