One at a Time, Mother Theresa


One at a Time

 I never look at the masses as my responsibility.
 I look at the individual.
 I can love only one person at a time.
 I can feed only one person at a time.
 Just one, one, one.

You get closer to Christ by coming closer to each other.
 As Jesus said, "whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me."
 So I begin... I begin.
 I picked up one person, maybe if I didn't pick up that one person. I wouldn't have picked up the next 42,000.
 
The whole work is only a drop in the ocean.  But if I didn't put the drop in, the ocean would be one drop less.
 Same thing for you.
 Same thing in your family
 Same thing in the church where you go, just begin...one, one, one.

    -- Mother Theresa, "Words to Love By"
