September 10 is celebrated by the Missionaries of Charity as Inspiration Day—the day in 1946 Mother Teresa received her “call within a call,” to leave her convent in Calcutta and go out to the streets to find Jesus in “his most distressing disguise” in the poorest of the poor.
Conversation
“Don’t search for God in far lands—he is not there. He is close to you, he is with you. Just keep the lamp burning and you will always see him. Watch and pray. Keep kindling the lamp and you will see his love and you will see how sweet is the Lord you love.”
