Mother Teresa was a truly inspirational servant of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her influence was far greater than just within her own Christian tradition. It touched the hearts of Christians throughout the world.
In Mother Teresa a deep and compelling spirituality was combined with a practical application of faith. I am sure that these were the qualities that drew Princess Diana and others to hold her in such affection.
Many of us, I am sure, will also be remembering her as we focus our thoughts and prayers on Diana tomorrow.
I am truly saddened by Mother Teresa's death. However, her legacy lives on in her Community, and in her work with the poor as well as in the minds of all those she inspired.
