3 Page 3 September 25, th Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflections from Fr. Brian 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Mother Teresa owned a Lincoln Continental one --- for about five minutes back in A gift of Pope Paul VI, who rode in it during his visit to India, it never had the honor of carrying its new owner, who raffled it off and made $98, many times the worth of the car --- for her ministry. Mother Teresa is nothing if not practical. Perhaps no renowned figure shows no partiality, ministering to people on the basis of need, not an outward standards of worth, and secondly, her strong faith is balanced by her works of charity. Mother Teresa started her work with five rupees in her pocket, about 55 cents. She shunted organized money appeals, I do not agree with the big way of doing things, she says in Boniface Hanley s Ten Christians. to us what matters is an individual. If we wait till we get a big operation, then we will be lost in the numbers. The film Mother Teresa shows her looking over a house being prepared for the nuns in San Francisco. A priest narrates, I was gently informed that the springs could go, the mattresses could go, the carpeting A workman explains the workings of the building s hot water heater, and a nun lightly tells him, I do not think we will be needing it. For us to be able to understand the poor, we must know what poverty is. Mother Teresa s response to suggestions that finance must be considered might be seen by some as infuriatingly impractical. Money --- I don t think about it. It always comes. The Lord sends it. We do God s work. He provides the means. If he does not give us the means that shows he does not want the work, so why worry? God can be counted on one way or the other. What a faith --- filled way of living. May Saint Teresa make our way of living our own as well. YÜA UÜ tç
