00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,377
Mother Teresa, our foundress,
2
00:00:02,377 --> 00:00:03,878
used to tell us
3
00:00:03,878 --> 00:00:07,132
that we are contemplatives in the heart of the world.
4
00:00:07,424 --> 00:00:08,967
In whatever we do,
5
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:12,178
we need to be in union with Jesus.
6
00:00:12,762 --> 00:00:15,056
Mother Teresa would say
7
00:00:15,056 --> 00:00:17,809
do everything with Jesus,
8
00:00:17,809 --> 00:00:20,687
for Jesus and to Jesus.
9
00:00:21,396 --> 00:00:24,733
Mother Teresa took the words of Jesus.
10
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:29,112
Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters,
11
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:30,280
you do it to me.
12
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:33,992
People may say, well, that's so tiny.
13
00:00:34,492 --> 00:00:36,870
But Mother Teresa would tell us
14
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:38,955
it's like a drop in the ocean.
15
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:41,708
But if that drop wasn't there,
16
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:43,209
something would be missing.
17
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:47,547
So we just try to do small things with great love
18
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:49,340
as Mother Teresa taught us.
19
00:00:50,091 --> 00:00:53,053
Mother Teresa had a mystical experience of Jesus.
20
00:00:53,511 --> 00:00:55,472
Jesus said to her,
21
00:00:55,472 --> 00:00:57,474
“I thirst for your love
22
00:00:57,474 --> 00:01:00,894
and the love of all those who don't know me.”
23
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:03,897
People used to ask Mother Teresa
24
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,607
when she came to Australia.
25
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:07,358
Why are you here?
26
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:11,279
And Mother Teresa would say there's a lot of lonely people here.
27
00:01:11,571 --> 00:01:12,864
Mother would say
28
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:14,532
you preach without preaching.
29
00:01:15,116 --> 00:01:17,243
So just by our presence,
30
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:19,454
people know who we are.
31
00:01:20,163 --> 00:01:22,373
Just by walking on the street,
32
00:01:22,373 --> 00:01:24,709
they feel that presence of God
33
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:26,294
without us saying anything.
34
00:01:26,795 --> 00:01:29,714
Mother Teresa had a business card
35
00:01:29,714 --> 00:01:31,341
that she would offer to people.
36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,053
She said,
37
00:01:33,053 --> 00:01:36,347
The fruit of silence is prayer,
38
00:01:36,347 --> 00:01:39,809
The fruit of prayer is faith,
39
00:01:39,809 --> 00:01:42,889
The fruit of faith is love,
40
00:01:42,889 --> 00:01:45,773
The fruit of love is service
41
00:01:45,773 --> 00:01:48,291
The fruit of service is peace.
42
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:51,194
And when you are doing God's will,
43
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:52,987
it will bring you great peace.
44
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:54,030
Thank you.
