A reporter went to India to interview Mother Teresa among the sick and suffering poor. Mother told the reporter that she did not do interviews but invited her to join in the day's work. The reporter witnessed Mother Teresa and her sisters care for people so sick, deformed and debilitated that they barely seemed human at all. And they did this all day long.
At the end of the day, the reporter just had to ask Mother Teresa how she could continue day after exhausting day...to visit, feed, touch, wipe brows and give comfort to these the wretched poor as they lay dying. Mother softly said, "It is not hard...because in each person I see the face of Christ in one of His more distressing disguises."
Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta would have been 100 today.
