Such joy It was the spring of 1985, and President Reagan had just given Mother Teresa the Medal of Freedom in a Rose Garden ceremony. As she left, she walked down the corridor between the Oval Office and the West 9king drive, and there she was, turning my way. What a sight: a saint in a sari commixing down the White House hall. As she came nearer, I could not help it: I bowed. "Mother", I said, "I just want to touch your hand." She looked up at me -- it may have been one of God’s subtle jokes that his exalted child spent her life looking up to everyone else -- and said only two words. Later I would realize that! they were the message of her mission. "Luff Gott," she said. Love God. She pressed into my hand a poem she had written, as she glided away in a swoosh of habit.
I took the poem from its frame the day she died. It is free verse, 79 lines, and is called "Mother’s Meditation ( in the Hospital )." In it she reflects on Christ’s question to his apostles: "Who do you say I am" She notes that he was the boy born in Bethlehem," put in the manager full of straw, kept warm by the breath of the donkey," who grew up to be "an ordinary man without much learning."
Donkeys are not noble; straw is common; and it was among the ordinary and ignoble, the poor and sick, that she chose to labor. Her mission was for them and among them, and you have to be a pretty tough character to organize a little universe that exists to help people other people aren’t interested in helping.
That’s how she struck me when I met her as I watched her life. She was tough. There was the worn and weathered face, the abrupt and definite speech. We think saints are great organizers, great operators, great combatants in the world.
Once I saw her in a breathtaking act of courage. She was speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington in 1995. All the Washington Establishment was there, plus a few thousand born -again Christians, orthodox Catholics and Jews, and searchers looking for a faith. Mother Teresa was introduced, and she spoke of God, of love, of families. She said we must love one another and care for one another. There were great purrs of agreement.
But as the speech continued it became more pointed. She asked, "Do you do enough to make sure your parents, in the old people’s homes, feel your love Do you bring then each day your joy and caring" The baby boomers in the audience began to shift in their seats. And she continued. "I feel that the destroyer of peace today is abortion," she said, and then she told them why, in uncompromising term. For about I. 3 seconds there was complete silence, then applause built and swept across the room. But not everyone: the President and the First Lady, the Vice President and Mrs. Gore, looked like seated statues at Madame Tussaud’s, glistening in the lights and moving not a muscle. She didn’t stop there either, but went on to explain why artificial birth control is bad and why Protestants who separate faith from works are making a mistake. When she was finished, there was almost no one she hadn’t offended. A US Senator turned to his wife and said, "Is my jaw up yet"
Talk about speaking truth to power! But Mother Teresa didn’t care, and she wasn’t afraid. The poem she gave me included her personal answers to Christ’s question. She said he is "the Truth to be told... the Way to be walked... the Light to be lit." She took her own advice and lived a whole life that showed it.
According to Mother Teresa, abortion is ______.

A.one of Protestant works.
B.one of Protestant faith.
C.one of the Truths.
D.not one of Protestant works

问答题One wet night I was coming home through Hyde Park from working late on a job in Paddington. Pain and wind and swept boughs and sickly gasights on the wet asphalt; and poles and scaffolding about in preparation for the Jubilee celebration. I had sent a couple of attempts on the subject to the Bulletin, and hall got encouragement in Answer to Correspondents. And now the idea of Sons of the South or Song of the Republic came. I wrote it and screwed up courage to go down to the Bulletin ’after hours, intending to chop the thing into the letter box, but just as I was about to do so, or rather making up my mind as to whether I’d shove it in, or take it home and have another look at the spelling and the dictionary, the door opened suddenly and a haggard woman stood there. And I shoved the thing into her hand and got away round the cornel, feeling something like a person who had been nearly caught on the premises under suspicious circumstances and was not safe yet by any means.I hadn’t the courage to go near the Bulletin often again, but used to lie awake at night and get up very early and slip down to the nearest news - agent’s on Thursday mornings, to have a pep at the Bulletin, ill fear and trembling and half furtively, as if the news - agent - another hard - life woman, by the way, named Mrs. Furlong--would guess my secret. At last, sick with disappointment, I went to the office and saw Mr. Archibird, who seemed surprised, encouraged me a lot and told me that they were holding the Song of a Republic over for a special occasion--Eight Hours Day.
