“By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian.
By faith, I am a Catholic nun.
As to my calling, I belong to the world.
As to my heart, I belong
entirely to the Heart of Jesus."
Saint Teresa of Calcutta
"If we would be truly happy, and find
all that our heart longs for let us go to
Communion in faith, hope, charity, humility,
and complete abandonment to the will of Him
who comes as our food and our tremendous lover.
For we cannot do better than to adopt the device
of St Columban: Christi sumus, non nostri -
Let us belong to Christ, and not to ourselves."
M. Eugene Boylan, O. Cist. R
From This Tremendous Lover
