Mother Teresa handed on every gift she received as quickly as possible. Everything always belonged to the poor, the needy, or simply to people who in her view needed a little love at that moment. People who presented her with valuable heirlooms with the aim of ‘parking’ them near a saint had miscalculated and were often disappointed. She was an expert at re-gifting. Moreover, she recognized that the complete lack of possessions is also a piece of freedom, and that anything she could not use immediately was simply a burden. |
