Mother Teresa & the doctor

Jul 4, 2013

I am in the midst of a lot of learning here at St. Mary of the Lake University. Sometimes the learning reaches me. And while a lot of the learning is in the classroom, very often it’s the casual conversations and dinner discussions that carry unexpected gifts of encouragement and challenge.

Tonight at dinner a friend mentioned an encounter between Blessed Teresa of Calcutta and the doctor. He had found this on a website. You can listen to the story at this link.

Unbridled ambition is problematic and resentment is exhausting. Love, generosity and forgiveness really is foundational,

Rote learning was a norm in my primary school days, repetition of the times tables, two times two equals four, three times two

So simple that children who naturally and naively live with open eyes and ears get it, when we adults too often miss the point.
