MIRACLE WORKER MOTHER TERESA...

...Mother Teresa was probably the most outstanding woman of the past few centuries. She will be missed and mourned worldwide by millions. Her love and activism for the least among us were nothing short of saintly. May we all follow her example of how to be great. DAVID COMPAS Indian Hills, Calif...
Compassion takes up only a tiny space in most people's lives, but that was what Mother Teresa lived and breathed every moment of her life. She could give, endlessly, without the expectation of receiving anything but gratitude from her congregation of the poor, sick, dying and abandoned.

She spent a lifetime comforting the dying castoffs of humanity's inability to come to terms with the need to stabilize population growth.

Every day thousands of children die as a result of unsustainable population growth. This is no time to create saints of people who cannot understand this harsh reality.
