A Poem by Edgar Guest says:
I'd rather SEE a sermon
than hear one any day.
~ Mother Teresa of Calcutta ~
Gandhi wrote:
[Dear visitor, what about Mother Teresa's faith? Isn't it much like the rose that Gandhiji invoked? Isn't there something splendidly aromatic or all-embracing about Mother's life of service in India, an ancient land in certain respects almost quintessentially anti-Christian or anti-western. Yet this little lady has lit a candle that truly lights the world, attracting the admiration of millions, and the accolades of kings and presidents, prime ministers and Hollywood stars, unequivocal papal endorsement, the Nobel Prize -- and yes, the special blessing of Princess Diana, very nearly a "saint" in her own right. ]
The Path of Love
Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor....Let no one come to you without leaving better or happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile and kindness in your warm greeting.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) wrote:
"So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or
nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his
rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked."
"Land of religions , cradle of human race , birthplace of human speech ,
grandmother of legend , great grandmother of tradition. The land that all men
desire to see and having seen once even by a glimpse , would not give that
glimpse for the shows of the rest of the globe combined."

Ave Maria, by Gounod
From St. Luke, chapter one: And [Gabriel] came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.... And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son.... He shall be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaiden of the Lord: be it unto me according to thy word.
[LATER, Mary greeted her cousin Elisabeth, who replied, with a loud voice] Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb; and whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord shouldst come to me?
And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in rememberance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.
