One time a group of US dignitaries came to say good-bye to Mother Teresa after having spent several days volunteering in the home for the destitute and dying. They thanked her and said that the experience had transformed them. Later, Mother Teresa remarked to the Sisters, “Something must be wrong with us. We struggle and struggle to be transformed, and they come here and in two days are transformed!”
