Just sharing thoughts on my one hero.
In the world where you get so turned off reading the newspapers filled with violence, killing, stealing, more killing...I remember every time I saw news about Pope JPII in the newspaper, it would be good news for me, a ray of hope for mankind. (Except for his funeral of course 
I mourned him as millions of people around the world.)
I mourned him as millions of people around the world.)He was an athlete (soccer), a nature-lover, a writer, a poet...loved the arts & theater. 
He loved the media and took advantage of it to broadcast peace and love. I remember news about the Berlin wall being brought down, reuniting East & West Germany, and later read about the significant roll he played in it. I remember the news when he was shot, and I remember the news when he seeked his shooter and forgave him.

I'm glad I got a chance to be in Rome, and to shake his hand (!).
Mother Theresa is my other hero!

Mother Teresa is also my highest hero among many. She wrote this to Rev. Michael van der Peet,
ReplyDelete"Jesus has a very special love for you. [But] as for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see, — Listen and do not hear — the tongue moves [in prayer] but does not speak ... I want you to pray for me — that I let Him have [a] free hand."
Although she was in her spiritual crisis but she kept going because her love for humanity.
Mother Teresa is my ultimate favorite! The things she did for everyone, despite their religions, conditions... made everyone she touched feel special.
ReplyDeleteIf we experience what she saw every day: Deaths, poverty, diseases, hunger...and so much of...I wonder if we would last that long. No wonder she has her moments of crisis but it was great she kept going.
