A Gift For God, p. 3
I believe in love and compassion.
Sunday, January 2, 2011
It is still remembered in Canada how, appearing on a TV program with Jacques Monod and Jean Vanier, she (Mother Theresa) sat with her head seemingly bowed in prayer while the famous French molecular biologist and Nobel prize-winner animadverted upon how the whole future destiny of the human race is inexorably locked up in our genes. When pressed by the compere for her views, she simply lifted up her head and remarked: "I believe in love and compassion," then resumed her devotions. Her intervention, reinforcing Jean Vanier's powerful Christian testimony, was somehow decisive, and Professor Monod was afterwards heard saying that a little more of the same treatment and his sound atheistic position might be jeopardized.
