Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Christians in the US have been ignored and fought against for quite a while now and it's getting worse. I enjoyed reading. This is very well written and good luck with the contest. In my opinion you won it.

I agree. I believe we're getting to the point in this country where Christians are being persecuted. Thank you for your kind review and encouragement.
Comment from BethShelby
I enjoyed your story. I can understand people wanting to honor Mother Teresa but being the humble person she was, it is likely she would say no She never wanted to call attention to herself. The statue that lit up the Empire State Building meant death. It was meant to call attention the death of wildlife rather than to honor the mythical God. Your story works well for the contest On the other hand. I like poem you included.

Yes, thats true. I wonder how many people realized that. I'm glad you did. Thank you for your insightful review.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very nice tribute to Mother Teresa. Well done.
And a sad commentary on the owners of the Empire State Building.
It must have somehow related to money - not enough bribe offered.
Good entry for the contest. Good luck.

You may be on to something there; as you say, a sad commentary. I appreciate your review and good luck wish.

Thank you so much for sharing this information! I didn't know that the Empire State Building was lit up for any particular reason. But you are right that Mother Teresa would never be offended. I think she didn't like all the fame and notoriety she received. She only wanted to help those that society abandoned. Loved the quoted poem, too! Best wishes in the contest!

Yes, she was an example to us all, as have many others, such as the martyrs who spoke the truth and were slaughtered for it. Mother Teresa was a great example of not caring about the opinions of men, (which is a great way to inner freedom) the Indian man who is credited as the inspirer of the Christian song, "I have decided" to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back" it's my inspiration too, his whole and he , were cut down, but the village came to faith becaise of it, with God's help..., bless you for this article, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this, mystery writer! I agree and the power to change the world for good is within each person. The devil likes us to think it isn't so.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.

I think Mother Teresa is now reaping the rewards for her efforts to change her world. She serves as an example for us all! We should strive to change the things we can touch. Thanks for your review and best wishes.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is well-written and well-documented. The story of how Mother Teresa was denied from being shown on the Empire State Building brings light to the subject of forgiveness and divine providence. Thank you for sharing this flagrant assault on the building which should show the best of the best. I love her poem, Do it Anyway. In it she tells us no matter what the cynics say, do it anyway.
Thanks for sharing this marvelous tale.

You're more than welcome, and thank you for your kind review. I've replaced The Empire State Building with The Chrysler Building as my favorite in New York because of it's reprehensible action toward Mother Teresa and our Christian beliefs.
-
Great idea!
The Chrysler Building is more appropriate than The Empire State Building anyway!
-
I agree!
Comment from Jim Wile
This was a wonderful story about one of the truly great people of our time. The world seems upside down at times, and contradictions and hypocrisy abound, but Mother Teresa's creed helps us to deal with that which is wrong in the world. That poem which you chose was so illustrative of not only her beliefs, but of what it takes to stand up to the evil and hypocrisy which is rampant.
This was a very well-written piece about a good person who should be an inspiration to all. Jim

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Mother Teresa died the same year as Princess Diana. I remember it being 1997. Mother Teresa was such an icon. So very humble and grateful to be able to help the poor. I remember a picture of Princess Diana posing with Mother Teresa. The poem was truly wonderful to read.
