Dear Saint Teresa of Calcutta, You who gave your life to serve the poorest of the poor, Help us to see the face of Christ in everyone we meet. Inspire us to act with kindness and compassion, And to spread love in our daily lives. May we find joy in serving others, And may our hearts be open to those in need. Guide us to be instruments of peace, And teach us to love without counting the cost.
Amen
St. Teresa of Calcutta, known as Mother Teresa (1910–1997), dedicated her life to serving the “poorest of the poor,” seeing Christ in everyone she encountered. Her humility, selflessness, and unwavering compassion inspire families and parishes to live with love, service, and mercy. Mother Teresa’s life teaches us to see the value in every person and to extend kindness and compassion, even in small ways. Her legacy reminds us that each act of love, no matter how small, makes a profound difference in the lives of others and brings us closer to God.
