A friend of mine in Phoenix was scheduled to do an interview with her[Mother Teresa]. As they spoke before the interview, Pat said to her, “Mother Teresa, is there anything I could do to help you with your cause? Could I help raise money or give you some publicity”.
Mother Terese replied, “No, Pat there is nothing you need to do. My cause is not about publicity and it is not about money. It is about something higher than that.”
Pat persisted, saying, “Isn’t there anything I can do for you? I feel so helpless.”
Mother Teresa’s response was, “If you really want to do something, Pat, tomorrow morning get up at four A.M. and go out on the streets of Phoenix. Find someone living there who believes he is alone, and convince him that he is not. That is what you can do.”
