One of the great insights that Madre Teresa gave to the Church was the deep undertanding that she had of the Body of Christ. She saw and taught others to see the presence of Christ in others - especially in the poor. She saw that as she served others she was serving the Lord. She knew that she touched the Body of Christ every day.
It is my own spiritual insight as well here that I am privledged to touch the Body of Christ each day. In loving the abused children of our school, stunbling through a conversation in broken languages or being with the poorest of the poor I see the presence of the Lord. It is within the poor that the Lord reveals Himself in a truly profound but mysterious way. It reveals to us each day the power and the glory of the Incarnation.
Please pray that each day I am able to keep in mind the presence and the glory of the Lord in others. By being present to them may I see and recognize the presence of the Lord.
