Thursday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time

I give thanks to my God always on your account for the grace of God
bestowed on you in Christ Jesus, that in him you were enriched in
every way, with all discourse and all knowledge, as the testimony to
Christ was confirmed among you, so that you are not lacking in any
spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:4-7

"Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has
put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the
proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival
finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all
his property." Matthew 24:45-47

Piety
Prayer to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on
the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light
of His love to all.
Obtain from the Heart of Jesus (here make your request).
Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so
completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to
others. Amen.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for me.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for me.

Study
As we join the Missionaries of Charity in celebrating the 100th
anniversary of the birth of Mother Teresa (now beatified and holding
the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta), the readings today give us firm
reminders of the witness that her testimony was to the world.

St. Paul's testimony to the Corinthians was made up of his oral
preaching and instruction, his letters, and the life he led as an
apostle. The same is true for Mother Teresa. Her "preaching" included
public speeches, like the address to the United Nations and to the
Nobel Peace Prize committee, as well as the countless memorable talks
she gave to individuals. In addition, we now also have access to her
letters published last year where we can get a sense of her profound
piety as well as the "dark night" her soul experienced.

Ultimately, we have the life she led as the prime example in which
what she said matched what she did for the "least of these." She
approached everyone she met from lepers to cancer patients to the poor
and destitute as if they were filled with the grace of God and were
not lacking in any spiritual gift.

Action
Plan to head down to your local post office on September 5 – the
official first day of issue—to buy a supply of the new commemorative
stamp bearing the image of Mother Teresa. If you plan to send out
Christmas cards this year, now is a good time to stock up on these
stamps and use them with your annual greetings to friends and
relatives far and wide.

Stop by the post office after attending the special afternoon Mass at
the Basillica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in
her honor if you can.
