for His love. And as if this were not enough for Him, He made Himself the
hungry one, the naked one, the homeless one, so that you and I can satisfy His
hunger for our human love. How wonderful is it that we have that opportunity.
GO TO CONFESSION
Now they are talking of destroying even the born one, even the crippled one,
even the mental one, and so on. Well, what has happened to our love that we
have been created for? That's why it's very important for us to have a clean
heart. And for us Jesus' tender love is so great, His forgiving love is so great,
we can go to Him in confession. We go to confession as a sinner full of sin. We
come from confession a sinner without sin.
And it is very important to be able really to pray. Teach your children to pray,
ask your teachers in your schools to teach your children to pray and pray with

a week because we have a day of recollection every week one day. And then at
our Chapter there was one voice, "Mother, we want adoration every day." And I
said, "How can we have adoration every day when we have so much work to
do?" We deal with thousands of people, thousands of sick people, poor people,
we have to do everything for them. We take care of 158,000 lepers; from the
streets of Calcutta we have picked up 48,000 people sick and dying and over
22,000 have died with us a most beautiful death. So I said, "How can we have it
daily?" But still everybody said, "No, Mother, we want it." I was very happy that
they wanted. So I said "Yes." And I can tell you, we didn't have to cut down the
work at all. We have daily adoration one full hour. And I can tell you something
very beautiful. From that time, from the time we had daily adoration I find in
our congregation love for Jesus is more intimate, love for each other more
understanding, love for the poor more compassionate. And we have twice much
more vocations. What a beautiful gift of God.
And I'm glad to thank the parents of some of our Sisters who have joined from
Canada and are with us; a beautiful gift of God. And because I believe that that
is the greatest gift of God to a family - to have a son or daughter given to God.
It is the greatest gift.
with those people that had no love. This is my prayer for you: that you
experience the joy of loving.
