MOTHER TERESA

This episode on Mother Teresa is part of this month’s series of Building Vibrant Parishes. And with her feast today, the 5th of September its wonderful to be able to share the life of this great saint. What was interesting was how Mother Teresa was influenced by another saint we’ve done before, St. Therese of Lisieux.

Mother Teresa responded to the call to serve where God called her. One of the best things about today’s podcast was where Charles talk about how you should spot a need and maybe respond to the call where God is calling you. Yes, you will meet rejection and pain, but keep at it. You will grow spiritually and find yourself a source of inspiration for many to follow.

He gives some examples of what it is like to serve and how you can start something in your own parish. If you need any inspiration, Mother Teresa should spur you on.
