The BEAUTIFUL FEET of MOTHER TERESA

Mother Teresa passed away on September 5th 1997. She was beatified on October 19 2003.

People over the world recognize her face, her smile, we see God radiating through her.

There is a part of her though that is not well known to people: her feet.

The Law of Sacrifice

Many years ago Shane Claiborne of the Philadelphia-based Ministry The Simple Way arrived in Calcutta, India, to apprentice under Mother Teresa. When prayer time came, this humble nun removed her shoes, as was her practice, Claiborne found that he could not stop staring at her feet because they were so grotesquely deformed. Afterwards, Claiborne asked one of the sisters what kind of illness had left Mother Teresa’s feet so malformed. The sister answered him, “Mother Teresa’s feet were not born like that. When people give shoes, she always waits to the very end and take the shoes that no one else wants.” Over time, her feet had twisted and contorted to take the shape of ill-fitted footwear.

Mother Teresa served those who needed God most, even at the risk of her own comfort. And in that process she carved an incredible path of influence that is still circling the globe years after her death.

Mother Teresa exuded acceptance because she operated under the law of sacrifice. This law states that we are open to the influence of those who serve by making a sacrifice for something we consider important; we are closed to the influence of those who are unwilling to sacrifice when sacrifice is deemed necessary.
