In honor of the day

Today is the tenth anniversary of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. To honor the day, I offer you the following prayer taken from the web site of the Postulation for the Canonization of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. Sadly, there isn't much on the site, but the prayer is good:

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta,

longing to love Jesus as He had never been loved before,

you gave yourself entirely to Him, refusing Him nothing.

In union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

you accepted His call

to satiate His infinite thirst for love and souls

and become a carrier of His love to the poorest of the poor.

With loving trust and total surrender you fulfilled His will,

witnessing to the joy of belonging totally to Him.

You became so intimately united to Jesus, your crucified Spouse,

that He deigned to share with you

the agony of His Heart as He hung upon the cross.

Blessed Teresa,

you promised to continuously bring the light of love to those on earth;

pray for us that we also may long to satiate the burning thirst of Jesus

by loving Him ardently,

sharing in His sufferings joyfully,

and serving Him wholeheartedly in our brothers and sisters,

especially those most unloved and unwanted.

Amen.
