Reflection

There is but one love of Jesus, as

there is but one person in the poor

– Jesus. We take vows of chastity

to love Christ with undivided love;

to be able to love him with

undivided love we take a vow of

poverty which frees us from all

material possessions, and with that

freedom we can love him with

undivided love, and from this vow

of undivided love we surrender

ourselves totally to him in the

person who takes his place. Mother Teresa
