A friend gave me the book by Eric Metaxas called "7 Women and the Secret of Their Greatness," which was fascinating and inspiring. One of the women highlighted in the book is Mother Teresa.
"Mother Teresa said that she saw Jesus in every man, woman, or child she met, and she treated them accordingly. She thought the biggest problem on earth was being unloved; and if, in her exhaustion, all she could offer someone was a smile, she gave it. She wanted to show the love of Christ in all she did--in helping the malnourished child and the woman dying in the gutter. To her, all these were simply "Jesus in His distressing disguise," as she put it. Because of this she was widely considered a saint during her lifetime, long before the Vatican made it official" (pg. 168).
