Mother Teresa -Albania -20th.century

She gave her life to the dying and destitute,especially abandoned children on the streets and in the slums of Calcutta.She was once asked why she did not enlarge her mission and outreach, to the millions of other starving children.She said,God asked me to be faithful,not successful.God does not ask us to control everything,but to be faithful to the daily routine of children ,work,friends and neighbours.To trust in the middle of darkness,temptation and worries.This is faithfulness to The Good God.
