ARCHDIOCESE OF CANBERRA AND GOULBURN RELEASE
Hundreds of children from schools across the Archdiocese, who packed St Christopher's Cathedral today for the annual Mission Mass, heard stories of a priest's experience working with the famous Blessed Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity sisters.
Fr Greg Beath (pictured right) told the children of the simple advice Mother Teresa gave when he first met her to "do something beautiful for God". When asked why she worked with the sick and poor, she said: "I do it for Jesus". She saw the person of Jesus in every man, woman and child.
"How many of us will go without something to eat or put pocket money aside to help people in other places?" he asked.
He urged them to make a difference by helping someone else at home, at church, at school, in the community and in the wider world.
"We can all make a difference if we stop for a minute and think what we can give to another person," he said. "The best gift we can give is love."
