Why Does Mother Teresa Inspire You?
Mother Teresa Inspires me because she helped alot of people in need. She gave all her love to the poor, and gave them shelter and comfort. She made mircles happen, She belived truly in god , she was a great humanitarian
Guadalupe madera , ca Saturday, December 10, 2011    I am named after two special women. Mary Mother of Jesus and St. Teresa Little Flower. These two led me to my vocation of Nursing.They are my foundation of Love, Compassion and Healing.Then came Mother Teresa and I became acutely aware and sure that I am in a vocation chosen for me. Many times patients see so many nurses they don't remember names but many times when I introduce myself as "Teresa", they respond "Oh just like Mother Teresa" and instantly feel that they are in good hands', especially members of the Clergy, they feel as though it's a sign that GOD is looking after them in a special way.Somehow it makes me a better Nurse and them better patients.It's certainly true that GOD's ways are mysterious and I am humbled and grateful for the blessings that I've been given, but mostly for the opportunity to serve the people GOD sends my way because I realize there is a reason ,even though I may never know it.

WI Sunday, November 27, 2011 I absolutely LOVE Mother Teresa. She's been one of my spiritual teachers for a long, long time. She's very inspirational in my life. She says I don't have to go to India to help people - just look around the corner and see the homeless, the sick and dying. She guides me. Love, Suzanne :)
Suzanne Newport Beach, CA Wednesday, October 26, 2011    Mother Teresa, the Ezhilarasi*
- Dr.Ezhilvendhan, India
email : Dr.Ezhilvendan@gamil.com
Is Ezhilarasi* a begotten blessing of Mother India,
Or a priceless asset, what do I say?
Is she a virgin mother with great kindness?
Is she a Goddess risen in this world?
People dying in pain on the streets
Have been born to live indeed
Immortal god sent her to instruct us
Is she a messenger known as Mother Teresa?
What shall I say about the country that had her birth?
In the soil of the land of Yugoslavia
The day this mother was born as Teresa
The nation got her blessings then
At the age of twelve, for all the dying
She wished to serve, the maiden even then.
In Calcutta she has become the virgin mother now
The mother continues to serve with kindness
To see happiness amongst the weak and poor
Our Mother is doing enormous service
In her steady service with no impatience
She sees God Jesus in being.
Proffers her work to God,
The service she renders in India.
With a bright, peaceful, happy spirit
Serves Teresa, let her live long!
Even after with wrinkles on her cheeks
There are no wrinkles in her efforts.
After shedding selfishness, in the lives of the poor
Seeing her wellbeing is Mother’s heart.
She spreads flowery fragrance of smiles
Let us rejoice thinking about her attitudes.
Mother stretches the aroma around the world
Let her live endlessly longer and longer!
Ezhilarasi* - The Queen of glowing beauty
