we are transformed into them

Actual journal entries from:

Mother Teresa

“Come be my Light –

The Private Writings of the

Saint of Calcutta”

Compiled by Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C.

Reflect a saint

“Put your hand in His [Jesus’] hand, and walk alone with Him. Walk ahead,

because if you look back you will go back.”

1928. Mr Teresa’s words 18 y.o. as she left home to be a missionary

Preparation for prayer and reflection

[ With his dying breath] “Why does Jesus say “I thirst”? What does it mean?

Something so hard to explain in words- … “I thirst” is something much deeper

than just Jesus saying “I love you”. Until you know deep inside that Jesus thirsts

for you – you can’t begin to know who He wants to be for you. Or who He wants

you to be for Him.”

SUGGESTED

REFLECTION

Do you feel that there is

a God that ‘thirsts’ for

you?

What does your

response mean for you

today?

Pre-1946. Written for her fellow sisters while still a Loreto Sister.

“I am so afraid Jesus – I am so terribly afraid – let me not be deceived – I am

so afraid. – This fear shows me how much I love myself. – I am afraid of the

suffering that will come - through leading that Indian life - clothing like them,

eating like them, sleeping like them – living with them and never having

anything my way. How much comfort has taken possession of my heart.”

SUGGESTED

REFLECTION

How do the comforts you

hold on to today, prevent

you from responding to

God’s call?

1947. Mr Teresa’s second doubt through continuous petition to respond to her

calling to establish Sisters of Charity.

‘Tell me, Father, why is there so much pain and darkness in my soul? Sometimes I

find myself saying “I can’t bear it any longer” with the same breath I say “I am sorry,

do with me what you wish.”’

SUGGESTED

REFLECTION

What does:

surrender

loneliness

darkness,

mean for you in a

relationship with God?

Post-1950. Early days after establishing Sister of Charity. Mother

Teresa often found herself filled with desolation, as if the presence of

God was missing.

“My going to U.S. was the hardest act of obedience I had ever had to give to God.

Imagine me, this poor little Missionary, without anything natural to attract, in U.S. in

front of those thousands of great people. I would die of fear & shyness.”

“…What an experience - Thank God it is over- and that every bit was only for

Him…”

SUGGESTED

REFLECTION

What does it mean for you

today, to follow God’s

calling despite feeling

totally unqualified and

inadequate?

Mr Teresa’s first trip for public speaking, 1985

“Be the one… be the one who will satiate the Thirst. Instead of saying “ I

thirst” say “ be the one”… do whatever you believe God is asking you to

do to be the one to satiate Him.”

Btw: Satiate means ‘to satisfy fully’

Group discussion

“Be the one… be the one who will satiate the Thirst. Instead of saying “ I

thirst” say “ be the one”… do whatever you believe God is asking you to

do to be the one to satiate Him.”
