Hello JoAnne,
Thanks for posting words of wisdom, which may be considered as a truly blessings from Mother Theresa`s heart.
Living in USA, maybe you are not aware of a silent war, which is today less than it was about 10 and more years ago, between Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christians. (In past, specially during the 2nd WW, this war was so, so bloody).
For opening a more peaceful dialog between those two confessions (until 1054th they were together) Mother Theresa is so very deserved.
Orthodox Christians do not pray in Catholics holy people and opposite, also do not admit them as a holy one.
I was born as an Orthodox Serb. And Mother Theresa was born as Albanian Catholic.
Serbia was bombed due Albanians and still we are not at peace at all.
BUT, One of my biggest helpers and One that HEAR AND FULFILL my prayers, is Mother Theresa. I LOVE HER.
Churches and confessions are institutions and buildings.
LOVE is an outcome for this world. It doesn`t need and it cann`t be institutionalized.
Thank you JoAnne and THANK YOU MOTHER THERESA!
On behalf of Mother Theresa`s prayers, may Lord bless you all!
Sincerely,
Luka
