Professor of Love

Mother [Teresa] opened her first mission outside India in Venezuela. A rich family in Cocorote had given land to the Missionaries of Charity to build a home for orphaned children. When Mother Teresa visited South America, she went to thank the family. She noticed that their first-born child was 'terribly disabled'.

She asked the mother, 'What is his name?'

'Professor of Love,' replied the mother, 'because this child is teaching us the whole time how to express love in action.'

'There was a beautiful smile on the mother's face as she said these words,' said Mother.
