“The best way to show gratitude to God and to others is to accept everything with joy. One day, people brought us a man from the streets. After we had washed him and given him a ticket to St. Peter, he said, ‘Sisters, I am going to God.’ That is joy.”
~ Saint Theresa of Calcutta
For reflection:
- Do I accept everything with joy, even hardships? Why or why not?
- In what ways can my joyful actions lead others to God?
- In what ways can I be like the man from the streets, accepting others’ joy and assistance in my own life so that I can go to God?
