In an interview with Mother Teresa, a reporter asked her how she found the strength and hope to work day after day in the middle of so much suffering. Mother Teresa replied, “One day a long time ago I went to nurse a woman with leprosy. Her body was covered with sores. So, I began the slow work of tending to the sores, up and down her arms. And when I reached her hand, I saw a sore in the middle of her hand that looked like it went though. And I thought to myself, ‘My Lord has holes in his hands.’ Then I prayed, ‘Lord, is this you?’”
