Wisdom of
Mother Teresa

AIDS:
The retribution for "improper sexual misconduct."
POVERTY:
It is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot. The world is much helped
by the suffering of poor people.
HOMELESSNESS:
The problems facing us are due to the fact that we are too distant from Jesus.
UNEMPLOYMENT:
First we must learn to love one another.
ABORTION:
Is the greatest enemy of peace.
OVERPOPULATION:
There is no problem of
overpopulation, only [of] God's will.
The 'kindly'
little nun's bedside manner was demonstrated during a filmed interview where she
told of her attendance to a patient suffering unbearable pain from terminal
cancer.
Smiling at the
camera, she told of her counsel to the patient. "You are suffering like
Christ on the cross. So Jesus must be kissing you." She then freely related
the response of the sufferer, apparently unaware that it was a put-down.
"Then
please tell him to stop kissing me," he said.
