A Catholic nun, an angel of a woman, known and revered the world over for her awesome work in India is the subject matter of this week's poem. The title of the piece reveals her name.
Powerful Instrument of God—Mother Teresa
O deeply compassionate
woman
day in, day out
you make your way through
the streets of
Calcutta’s N.E. region—
tirelessly tending
to the dire needs
of the poorest of the
poor,
taking great pain
in alleviating
their miserable
existence
as best you can—
not only on a physical
level
but more importantly
On a spiritual one;
leading lost souls
to the saving grace
of Christ!
O Mother Teresa!
Beautiful are the
feet of those who follow
in the footsteps
of the Lord—as
yours faithfully do!
