However, I am also aware that many of our people, here and abroad, once again feel irritated as we did during her beatification with the reemergence of so-called scholarly and diplomatic bickering over her legacy. Moreover, the senseless criticism against the U.S. Postal Service for issuing a commemorative stamp in honor of Mother Teresa compounded with the owner of the Empire State Building, Mr. Anthony Malkin, denying the Catholic League\u2019s request for the building\u2019s iconic lightings featuring blue and white in tribute of Mother Teresa\u2019s centenary only adds to our frustration.<\/p>\n<p>[As a footnote, the Catholic League submitted its request on 2 February and was officially denied on 5 May without any explanation. Afterwards, as a means of justifying their decision a new paragraph was amended stating \u201c\u2026the Empire State Building has a specific policy against lighting for religious figures, religious organizations \u2026\u201d Furthermore, precedent had been set in which this great landmark could honor achievers or achievements when deemed fitting and proper. Does not Mother Teresa\u2019s greatest compare with the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Communist revolution?]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7236\" title=\"Franz-Llesh Grishaj during the anniversary\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shkoder.net\/images\/fjala\/2011\/franz_llesh_grishaj1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Regardless, as a people of faith, desiring only to honor our beloved sister and mother, I respectfully suggest that we do not allow ourselves to become preoccupied with these distractions. Instead, let us in mind, body, and spirit totally dedicate ourselves to this historic day as we pay homage to truly \u201cone of the greatest missionaries of the 20th century\u201d as described by Pope John Paul II.<\/p>\n<p>In referring to Mother Teresa, many wonderful names have been affectionately bestowed on her: \u201cLiving Saint,\u201d \u201cSaint of the Gutters,\u201d \u201cGod\u2019s Gift,\u201d \u201cGod\u2019s Pencil,\u201d \u201cApostle of Joy,\u201d \u201cCourageous Missionary,\u201d just to name a few. She, however, confessed that \u201cThe title of \u2018Mother\u2019 is the biggest honor I have ever received.\u201d  Knowing the intimate spiritual relationship she had with the Blessed Virgin Mother Mary, no one could doubt her sincerity. Yet, if I could choose a word, title, that would best identify her, it would be a \u201cmystic\u201d \u2013 yes, a modern-day mystic. Mother Teresa was a traditional Christian mystic in the purest sense as her \u201ccall within a call\u201d truly exemplified her unique and exceptionally profound experience of oneness with God.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we are fortunate for the tremendous amount of inspirational testimonies, biographies, and scholarly work on Mother Teresa, not to mention her own personal writings. This gives any researcher an immeasurable wealth of information to work with. My primary focus will be on a well-known poem attributed to Mother Teresa. After much contemplation, I will be examining the genuine spiritual message that I feel the poem conveys; and then I will illustrate how Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity have personified it. By no means, however; does this imply that there can be only one interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>Here it is.<\/p>\n<p>*\u201cANYWAY\u201d<br \/>\nPeople are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;<br \/>\nLOVE THEM ANYWAY.<br \/>\nIf you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;<br \/>\nBE KIND ANYWAY.<br \/>\nIf you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;<br \/>\nSUCCEED ANYWAY.<br \/>\nIf you are honest and frank, people may deceive you;<br \/>\nBE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY.<br \/>\nWhat you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;<br \/>\nBUILD ANYWAY.<br \/>\nIf you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;<br \/>\nBE HAPPY ANYWAY.<br \/>\nThe good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;<br \/>\nDO GOOD ANYWAY.<br \/>\nGive the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;<br \/>\nGIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU\u2019VE GOT ANYWAY.<br \/>\nYou see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;<br \/>\nIT WAS NEVER BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY.<br \/>\nThe simplicity of this poem, uniquely insightful in nature, is so philosophically, theologically, and spiritually significant because, not only does it clearly describe the fundamental principles of fidelity, hope, service, compassion, and love that Mother Teresa, and the Missionaries of Charity, are renowned for in serving \u201cthe poorest of the poor.\u201d It also resonates the essential teaching of the Gospel that these core values epitomize, which according to Mother Teresa is, \u201cJesus came to teach us: that God loves us, and that He wants us to love one another as He loves us.\u201d  So intrinsically imbedded was this belief that she repeatedly stated, \u201cOur mission is to convey God\u2019s love \u2013 not a dead God but a living God, a God of love.\u201d This love that consumed and drove Mother Teresa is Almighty God Himself because Sacred Scripture assured her, and all of us, that, \u201cGod is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him\u201d (1 John 4:16).<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, who was this \u201cGod of love\u201d that transformed Mother Teresa\u2019s entire-being? The answer for her was, and will always be, Jesus. She wrote, \u201cTo me &#8211; Jesus is my God. Jesus is my Spouse. Jesus is my Life. Jesus is my only Love. Jesus is my All in All. Jesus is my Everything!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cGod of love\u201d exalted Mother Teresa to see, through the lenses of her soul, the spiritual reality that \u201cwe all have been created in the image of God to love and to be loved.\u201d Therefore, she was inspired with word and deed to express that \u201cIt is not enough for us to say: \u2018I Love God,\u2019 but I also have to love my neighbor.\u201d It is apparent that this intrinsic truth is the summation of the Ten Commandments: \u201cYou shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and will all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself\u201d (Luke 10:27). This empowering conviction, as the poem suggests, encouraged her, and challenges us, to love unconditionally, to be kind, to succeed, to be truthful, to build, to be happy, to do good, and to give your best to the world. For it is comprised of all of God\u2019s children &#8211; irrespective of social class, ethnic origin, or profession of faith &#8211; and hence, according to Mother Teresa, \u201cThere is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As described by this poem, there is a fundamental difference in how Mother Teresa perceived \u201clove your neighbor as yourself.\u201d I believe that her understanding of \u201clove of neighbor\u201d is not confined to the \u201cGolden Rule\u201d which states, \u201cDo to others whatever you would have them do to you.\u201d (Matthew 7:12). While this teaching is cherished, it is people loving others according to their limited human awareness of what they perceive others may want, or need, solely based on their personal disposition. To a mystic, however, what is absent here is the essential component of oneness with God. On the other hand, Mother Teresa\u2019s tangible representation of how to love your neighbor is most evident in the Last Supper. There, Jesus the \u201cTeacher\u201d and \u201cLord\u201d goes against the cultural norms of the time by washing his disciples\u2019 feet and then says to them, \u201cI have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do\u201d (John 13:15). Afterwards, Jesus gives them a new commandment to \u201cLove one another as I have loved you\u201d (John 13:34), and stipulates that \u201cThis is how all will know that you are my disciples\u201d (John 13:35). You see, there is absolutely no reciprocity involved and this loving act of service is actually fashioned by her Lord and her God. Simply \u201cWhoever loves me will keep my word\u201d (John 14:23). Mother Teresa, a true disciple in complete union with God, incorporated this model and completely infused it into the Missionaries of Charity.<br \/>\nWhen Mother Teresa begins to THIRST for \u201cthe unwanted, the unloved, the uncared for\u201d she is inflamed with the realization that she is literally caring for her \u201cCrucified Spouse\u201d and as a direct result sees \u201cGod in every human being.\u201d This deep revelation expressed in the Gospel message of the Last Judgment became the basis of her entire ministry: &#8220;For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.&#8221; Then the righteous will answer him and say, &#8220;Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or see you thirsty and give you drink?&#8221;\u2026 The king will say to them in reply, &#8220;Amen, I say to you, what ever you did to the least of my brethren, you did it to me&#8221; (Matthew 25: 35-40). The last stanza of the poem unequivocally supports this profound belief; that whatever we do to each other, good or evil, we are actually doing it to God.<br \/>\nMother Teresa\u2019s resolve to \u201cDo something beautiful for God\u201d by seeking, finding, and serving Jesus in a most \u201cdistressing disguise&#8221; is purely remarkable and incomprehensible, especially considering the nearly 50 years of \u201cintense spiritual darkness\u201d that she suffered. Her uncompromising fidelity, accurately portrayed by this poem, of doing it anyway, is truly inspirational and, perhaps, almost overwhelming. Yet with \u201conly blind faith\u201d and the belief in prayer, as her source of strength, Mother Teresa continued with the fruit of love, which springs forth service, and served with joy, knowing that \u201cGod loves a cheerful giver\u201d (2 Corinthians 9:7).<\/p>\n<p>I believe that this intrinsic quality of faithfulness to the very end is also derivative of her cultural heritage. Having been raised in a traditional patriotic Albanian family by devout Catholic parents, Mother Teresa at an early age must have experienced the Albanian Besa. The besa is more than just a word; it is a concept of sacredness stemming from a person\u2019s word of honor, which may be either a sworn oath or pledge. Once the besa has been given, one is bound by it. Thus, I lay claim that the day Mother Teresa made her Perpetual Profession; she freely and lovingly gave her besa, becoming, as she so often said, the \u201cspouse of Jesus\u201d for \u201call eternity.\u201d At this moment, I am once again reminded from Sacred Scripture, \u201cWhoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully\u201d (2 Corinthians 9:6) and, thus, can visualize Jesus saying to Mother Teresa, \u201cWell done my good and faithful servant\u2026come share your master\u2019s joy.\u201d (Matthew 25:21).<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, I reaffirm that this eloquent poem, with deep spiritual truths of elegant beauty, illuminates Mother Teresa and her ministry as personified through the Gospel\u2019s eternally mandated message: God loves us and He wants us to love each other like He loves \u2013 unconditionally! Therefore, we should love as He taught us to love. Furthermore, if we meditate on the following saying by Mother Teresa, \u201cTrue holiness consists in doing the will of God with a smile\u201d and interweave it with the belief that God is holy and therefore also wants\u2019 us to be holy, then this poem also explicitly demonstrates that holiness can truly be achieved in this world through very simple means \u2013 \u201cto love as He loved us\u201d &#8211; therefore inspiring all of God\u2019s children to smile as we do it ANYWAY!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your attentiveness.<br \/>\nGod bless you!<br \/>\nMother Teresa, continue to share with us;<br \/>\nMother Teresa, continue to care for us;<br \/>\nMother Teresa, continue to comfort us;<br \/>\nMother Teresa, continue to pray for us;<br \/>\nMother Teresa, continue to love us;<br \/>\nMother Teresa, happy birthday.<br \/>\n* Although this particular version of the poem is attributed to Mother Teresa and found engraved on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, Mother Teresa\u2019s home for children in Calcutta. It is believed to be based on The Paradoxical Commandments written by Kent Keith in 1968.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Paul\u2019s Albanian Catholic Church Thursday, 26 August 2010 Mother Teresa: *Do It ANYWAY By: Franz-Llesh Grishaj It is truly an honor to be with you on this solemn and joyous occasion of the dedication of the newly erected Mother Teresa statue, generously donated by the brothers Leka and Pashko Gojcaj, as we commemorate the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
