Sanctity--for you and for me


"I will, I want, with God's blessing, [to] be holy!" Here is the secret of joy. 

The text in full: My dear Lay Missionaries. Keep the joy of loving Jesus in your hearts and share this joy with all you meet. Make a strong resolution, "I will, I want with God's will [to] be holy." This will help you to satiate the thirst of Jesus for love for souls--by working at the salvation and the sanctification of the poor--especially your family. Let us pray. God bless you, Mother Teresa. 
A perfect summary of the MC charism in her own words. Notice: work for the salvation of the poor--especially your family. We need not look to the horizon to find the periphery.
