Actual journal entries from:
Mother Teresa
“Come be my Light –
The Private Writings of the
Saint of Calcutta”
Compiled by Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C.
Reflect a saint
“Put your hand in His [Jesus’] hand, and walk alone with Him. Walk ahead,
because if you look back you will go back.”
1928. Mr Teresa’s words 18 y.o. as she left home to be a missionary
Preparation for prayer and reflection
[ With his dying breath] “Why does Jesus say “I thirst”? What does it mean?
Something so hard to explain in words- … “I thirst” is something much deeper
than just Jesus saying “I love you”. Until you know deep inside that Jesus thirsts
for you – you can’t begin to know who He wants to be for you. Or who He wants
you to be for Him.”
SUGGESTED
REFLECTION
Do you feel that there is
a God that ‘thirsts’ for
you?
What does your
response mean for you
today?
Pre-1946. Written for her fellow sisters while still a Loreto Sister.
“I am so afraid Jesus – I am so terribly afraid – let me not be deceived – I am
so afraid. – This fear shows me how much I love myself. – I am afraid of the
suffering that will come - through leading that Indian life - clothing like them,
eating like them, sleeping like them – living with them and never having
anything my way. How much comfort has taken possession of my heart.”
SUGGESTED
REFLECTION
How do the comforts you
hold on to today, prevent
you from responding to
God’s call?
1947. Mr Teresa’s second doubt through continuous petition to respond to her
calling to establish Sisters of Charity.
‘Tell me, Father, why is there so much pain and darkness in my soul? Sometimes I
find myself saying “I can’t bear it any longer” with the same breath I say “I am sorry,
do with me what you wish.”’
SUGGESTED
REFLECTION
What does:
surrender
loneliness
darkness,
mean for you in a
relationship with God?
Post-1950. Early days after establishing Sister of Charity. Mother
Teresa often found herself filled with desolation, as if the presence of
God was missing.
“My going to U.S. was the hardest act of obedience I had ever had to give to God.
Imagine me, this poor little Missionary, without anything natural to attract, in U.S. in
front of those thousands of great people. I would die of fear & shyness.”
“…What an experience - Thank God it is over- and that every bit was only for
Him…”
SUGGESTED
REFLECTION
What does it mean for you
today, to follow God’s
calling despite feeling
totally unqualified and
inadequate?
Mr Teresa’s first trip for public speaking, 1985
“Be the one… be the one who will satiate the Thirst. Instead of saying “ I
thirst” say “ be the one”… do whatever you believe God is asking you to
do to be the one to satiate Him.”
Btw: Satiate means ‘to satisfy fully’

“Be the one… be the one who will satiate the Thirst. Instead of saying “ I
thirst” say “ be the one”… do whatever you believe God is asking you to
do to be the one to satiate Him.”
