A Flame of love "Mother Teresa of Calcutta lit a flame of love, which her daughters and sons must now carry forward. The world badly needs the light of that flame. She learned to see the face of God in every living human being. It is more blessed to give than to receive... Mother Teresa of Calcutta understood fully this Gospel of Love. She practised it with all her heart crossing all the frontiers of religion. Dear Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the entire Church thanks you for your luminous example and promises to make it our heritage." |
- Pope John Paul II, in a tribute to the missionary read out at the funeral mass in Calcutta by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the Vatican Secretary of State.(extracted from The Straits Times, Singapore, September 14, 1997).
