I'm in the process of reading "Come Be My Light", the private writings of Mother Teresa. It definitely isn't a "speed read" - I'm taking my time to go through it, making notes and reflecting along the way. Again and again I am struck by her supernatural selflessness and commitment to give God her all. She fell in love with Jesus and was so confident of His love for her that out of the overflow of her heart she touched others with His love. She insisted, "Don't look for big things, just do small things with great love...The smaller the thing, the greater must be the love."
"Why must we give ourselves fully to God? Because God has given Himself to us. If God who owes nothing to us is ready to impart to us no less than Himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves? To give ourselves fully to God is a means of receiving God Himself. I for God and God for me."
