She referred to it as violent, killing, murder and the greatest destroyer of peace today. She also didn't keep quiet about it when she was in the presence of abortion supporters and even identified contraception as the root cause of abortion (read here: http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles4/MotherTeresaAbortion.php). Mother Teresa spoke boldly and with love. We are called to do the same.<br /><br />I don't think #14 applies to issues of faith and morals in the sense that we should ever accept what is false or not speak up for what is true. But maybe it means that we need to guard that such serious discussions don't become "win the battle but lose the war" situations. One way to help someone see the truth about abortion, for example, is to really hear them out and try to meet them where they're at with the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-1952702450291318962012-02-03T16:08:04.651-06:002012-02-03T16:08:04.651-06:00Ouch.

To better understand others, in order to... better interfere in their affairs... oh sheesh.<br /><br />And give in, in discussions, even when you are right? How would one do that when discussing abortion?<br /><br />Oh Blessed Mother Theresa, pray for me.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019366435305475956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-34550788285800914142012-02-01T14:11:52.830-06:002012-02-01T14:11:52.830-06:00I feel like #1 is hardest when no one asks how you...I feel like #1 is hardest when no one asks how you are doing and want to say something. <br /><br />I think these might be my Lenten challenges this year.JentoInfinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188248469034099534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-61474682729759993832012-02-01T12:51:52.221-06:002012-02-01T12:51:52.221-06:00Thanks for the reminder. 0nce again, I was forgett...Thanks for the reminder. 0nce again, I was forgetting how much I lack humility.
