Mental retreat

After an emotional breakdown last weekend, I went to a mental retreat during the week. I had a chance to spend some time at the bookstore and read one of the most amazing book I have ever read. Since the religious section of the bookstore is kind of quiet so I can sit there all day. Reading one of Mother Teresa's books grants me a peaceful heart. They answered most of the questions I have had for a couple of weeks. They modified my way of thinking to make me a happier person. It's like Jesus is sending a message to me (or may be he is :D)

Mother Teresa taught me to pray, to give and to love. There are more, but the store was closing at that time.

One very important idea that brought to my mind was that, sometimes I get discouraged in love and charity because I don't feel like I am needed. Needless to say that I don't feel important most of the time. In fact, Mother Teresa taught us not to want to be needed. If we get discouraged when doing charity, it's a sign of pride. I don't like the word pride. Pride can only make people to see themselves and forget about what's important in the first place. I should really look in the mirror to see if I can find traces of pride in myself.

Knowing that it's so hard to do what's written in there for we are all mortals, I will try my best to work on them. First of all we need to pray more to call for help, to take away the pride I have. Then teach me to act and speak God's love. Do some sacrifice in giving and sharing.
