For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, "I have set you to be a light for the
Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth."
Mother Teresa was speaking to persons who had come to meet her from all over the world.
Among the groups to which she spoke was one of religious sisters from many North American
orders. After her talk she asked if there were any questions. "Yes, I have one," a woman sitting
near the front said."As you know, most of the orders represented here have been losing members.
It seems that more and more women are leaving all the time. And yet your order is attracting
thousands upon thousands. What do you do?"
Mother Teresa said quietly, "I give them Jesus. There is nothing else."
What do we have that the world can't find anywhere else? All we have is a savior, Jesus Christ.

(Acts 13:47
NRSV)
We have something that the world desperately needs.
God of peace, help me today to be a witness in sharing my savior. Amen.
