“The jar of flour shall not go empty,
nor the jug of oil run dry,
until the day when the LORD sends rain upon the earth.”
(First Reading)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, 2

At the
hospital

of the
dying
she shows
that
although

they have
lived
as animals

they must
die
as angels

her
living
hope

to do
something
beautiful
for God
