Lent Day 5 - Mother Teresa's Secret to Joy

It is the supreme paradox of the Christian spiritual tradition that we become filled with joy precisely in the measure that we contrive a way to make of ourselves a gift. By emptying out the self in love for the other, we become filled to the brim with the divine life. The smile of that Missionary of Charity, which was the same smile Mother Teresa bore, signaled the presence of a joy that no wealth, no security, no pleasure, no honor could possibly provide, and that can emerge even in the most miserable context. The secret to joy is self-giving love. Mother Teresa imparted that to her sisters, and she offers the same lesson to us.Come and join us live every Midnight (GMT) on our Livetream Virtual TV/Internet channel where we gather as children of Gaia and our Holy Father Mother God/Dess unite in reflective prayer, meditation with sacred chants/music to raise the Earth’s vibration ~ One Collective Consciousness ♥ Joy Love Peace UNITy http://www.livestream.com/franciscansoulmates4peace
