Decades have passed since the death of among the world’s finest known customers of the poor, Mom Teresa of Calcutta. In the years considering that her death, she has been announced a saint by the Roman Catholic Church, and many books have been discussed her incredible life of self-sacrifice.

Perhaps less well known, however powerfully considerable, is the function Mom Teresa played in reconstructing a culture of life. She did not see a wall between helping the poor and helping the preborn– she saw it all as part of her mission to share God’s love with the world.

In the book Praying with Mother Teresa: Prayers, Insights, and Knowledge of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, author Susan Conroy, who understood Mom Teresa personally, consists of some of the legend’s most noteworthy quotes on the issue of life.

“The biggest destroyer of peace on the planet today is abortion, due to the fact that it is a direct war, a direct killing,” Mom Teresa stated.

“If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we inform individuals not to kill one another?”

Those quotes appear specifically prescient. In the 21st century– the century Mother Teresa did not live to see– violence appears ever-present. The failure to recognize the sanctity of innocent human life at its conception causes a refusal to honor life at other phases of development.

Mother Teresa’s words were not hollow. She wanted to handle the obligation of looking after and raising a kid– if it would mean that a kid’s life was spared:

“Please do not eliminate the kid,” she stated. “Offer me the kid.”

Mom Teresa’s indomitable spirit resides on … in the order of Siblings she established … and in the hearts of all those who work to safeguard precious lives from abortion. Her legacy depends on the lives she conserved … the souls she recovered … and the individuals she inspired.

May we never forget the power of her life-affirming message.
