JOHN-ROGER (J-R): I saw you in Calcutta.
Mother Teresa: You better come back to Calcutta.
(JOHN-ROGER LAUGHING)
MOTHER TERESA: How nice.
-God bless you Mother. -God bless you. That will happen.
Please sit.
Well, you remember the last time we met,
we talked in Calcutta.
And you did something very nice...
-What did I do? -with Michael.
You explained to him
-the five gospels of Jesus on the hand. -Oh, that’s right.
I was so taken up with your caring and loving, I missed it.
Would you do it for me?
-Yes, gladly.
You did it to me.
Jesus said.
But that you do it to the least of my brethren,
you did it to me.
J-R and MOTHER TERESA: You did it to me.
J-R: Aha!
This is your love for Jesus. -Yes.
And Jesus’ love for you is all in your five fingers.
-Ah, okay.
The two hands, the two feet
and the sacred heart.
The final words of Jesus is his love for you.
And your five fingers is your love for Jesus.
-Oh, yes. - Wonderful?
-Yes, and reaching out to other people.
-Wonderful. Yes. So you look at the hand and you know.
J-R: I was...
-No need to take a book... Examine your hand.
-Take you hand and help people... -You did it to me.
-You did it to me, the five... - The five fingers and the five wounds of Jesus.
-Five wounds of Jesus. -His love for you.
-We have here, I know you are very busy.

So I hope you can get my heart... -Yes.
-in this because without my heart in this... -It doesn't...
-It's nothing. -There is no reason.

-For he said as you did this thing, you did it to me.
-Yes.

And...
...now it’s October the 31st. -Yes.
And this is what Jesus would say:
I was hungry and you gave me to eat.
I was naked, you clothed me. I was homeless,
you took me in. You did it to me.
It’s beautiful.
And it is something real! It’s not...
just the words. It’s a living gospel
