For those of you who know me well, you know that I go through phases more often than a Chileno says "¿cachai?" (that means it happens very often). This includes phases in what books I read. The past ferw months have been filled with the deeper theology books, but since returning to Chile I have been craving biographies. So I am currently in the middle of 3 biographies of different missionaries, including Mother Teresa. I have to say... I may not agree with everything she practiced, like super strict prayer rituals for her sisters, but as I read her biography I am so awed at how a woman can have so much compassion and wisedom in her.
So much of her work was political (basically every move she made had to be approved by Rome) and yet, she found time to hold the dying. whao... I still wonder what the balance is in my life. How much service, how much studying?
