The night when Mother Teresa came to visit me

Mother Teresa, perhaps, more appropriately - Blessed Mother Teresa

a very familiar name to me.

I had known her since I was a kid, from church teachings, tv news, to me the most memorable thing of her would be Sammi Cheung's old song "The angel of Calcutta, Mother Teresa". I probably didn't understand the song fully until now. But as a kid and teenager, I definitely love that song... Very ironic that I didn't really know her but I liked the song as a kid, it got me notice MT as a pop song and not a church song!

Anyway.. I don't even care much about Mother Teresa till now, been in the high school of her name - Mother Teresa Catholic High School since forever, but didn't appreciate this Blessed patron till recently.

I'm so into her now~ I borrow the book of hers, but didn't finish... need to reborrow again.

Work has been stressful and demanding, very tired after work, all I did was go home, eat, go on internet, watch world cup or read some news, facebook of course and maybe youtube whatever interests me.

In these stressful work days of mine, can you even believe this - that She, Mother Teresa actually came to "visit" me!!!! Last month about the same time, I was crazy about reading about her and watching her videos on youtube, living aimlessly with nothing much to do. Tonight, I am so tired cos I got so much work, I am so occupy that I have hard time finding time to go to church in weekdays... This ME, tonight, I get to see her relics - her pair of shoes, her rosary, her two adoration decor... - 1st and 2nd class relics that "should have been presented to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints when her case for Beatification was brought forth"!!

This is too much of a amazing grace, for what I ask, I received. I miss church so much these days, and tonight, not only I got to go to an evening mass but I have Mother Teresa "came to visit me", During these two days of viewing, her relics do not present to public in many locations (only three locations in Toronto - two in downtown, one in Scarborough), I get to go to one of the two masses... it's perfect timing and location for me, just right outside my house! It's totally made for me to go! I totally cried.

So this is the mass I went tonight, it's totally the highlight of this week and I got to blog this before I forget my excitement... It's a weeknight mass AND a possibly once in a lifetime first class relics of BMT viewing...

Through her belongings, I get to feel her blessings and reminded of her great works. When I saw the sisters of the Missionary of Charity in their legendary white robe with blue strips, I was really thinking to myself.. I want to join them, I really like helping people by doing hands on work!.. But I can't yet leave me "worldly desires"~!!... maybe one day.. when the call is so strong, I can't say no.. I will service the world with my two hands and one heart... I hope to have a day like that, I'm not ruling this out!!! hahaha..

Happy 25th Anniversary of Missionary of Charity in the Toronto Dioceses. I really appreciate all the charity work done by this international groups of sisters who follow the footstep of Mother Teresa...

Mary, Mother of Jesus, Be a Mother to me now. - Mother Teresa
