Love to be real…must hurt

“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.” — Blessed Mother Teresa

When most people think of love, they think of a romantic feeling, an emotion…not so much an “act of selfless giving”. I still have the image of my mom waking up with a migraine headache, going to 615 AM Mass, coming back and preparing breakfast for 4 kids, and then going to teach her 2nd grade class everyday with a smile…this was love, it hurt!!
