Love is also a kind of faith
I haven't read any books about religion, and I don't know what their strong belief in religion is, but Mother Teresa's experience showed me a thorough pilgrim. /kloc-after graduating from high school at the age of 0/8, she had a strong idea to go to the monastery, and she was convinced that this was the call of God. At the age of 65,438+08, we are still inexperienced children, but the idea of serving the poor has penetrated into her heart, giving up good living conditions and time with her family, which is somewhat similar to becoming a monk in ancient China. She said it was God's choice, not her own, and she began to influence more people. At the age of 38, she gave up the life in the monastery and began to walk into those suffering people, because she firmly believed that if she didn't live with them, she wouldn't be able to feel their experiences in the monastery every day. All this was achieved after nearly two years of struggle. Later, relying on her strong love for God and the world, she founded hospice care and leprosy treatment institutions to pay attention to the health of pregnant mothers and their babies ~ ~ All these actions are because she loves the world and everyone.
The value and dignity of life
Mother Teresa devoted her life to fulfilling her promise. Those people who were abandoned by their families and rotted and maggots were born in garbage dumps ~ Mother Teresa did not give up on them, but took care of them as God's call to herself. She shook hands with those people kindly, sometimes with a simple smile, without too many words, but all this made them feel her respect for life and love for the world. Someone said to a nun before leaving: Thank you for making me feel like an angel at the moment.
There was an extracurricular reading in high school. A beggar begged a man in the street, but the man searched all his pockets and found no cash. Then he shook the beggar's hand with guilt and said, "Sorry, friend, I forgot to bring money today."
They all show their respect for the value of life with their own practical actions.
Stories seen in life
Beggars can be seen everywhere in the street, and a friend joked that if I give them all relief, it won't be long before I give them relief. There are many, many sayings that these people are gangs, taking advantage of people's sympathy, and they are all very rich people. I witnessed an old man begging, saying that he hadn't eaten for a few days, so the girl gave the old man the bread she bought. As a result, the old man said I only wanted money, and the girl got angry and said not to stay, so she took the bread away. Actually, what else can I say ~
On the bus, a girl is carrying a computer and a heavy schoolbag. A boy gave his seat to a girl, thinking that he would get off the bus, and then stood for more than an hour and went back to school. Tell ah Piao in unison that there are people with such good character in our school ~
Many people say that we are unbelievers in modern times, and we don't deny it. Sometimes I think it's a good thing to have faith. When I do a lot of things, I will be bound by rules, which is called moral standards.
A sentence that often appears in books: Love hurts.
Five Essays on Reading the Biography of Mother Teresa (2)
I was moved to tears several times after watching The Biography of Mother Teresa-Walking in Love in One Breath. I used to know that Mother Teresa was great, and I knew a little about her deeds from the media reports, but this biography gave me a detailed understanding of her life of loving the poor, orphans, abandoned people, leprosy patients and AIDS patients all her life. Hellip& amphellip these people are all "poor people" that nuns think.
First of all, India, represented by Calcutta, has a large number of poor people because of war, famine and social hierarchy. They have no food, no clothes, no medicine, and their lives are always threatened. These people are undoubtedly absolutely poor materially, but even poor people have the same dignity and desire for respect, and they also have love. Once, Mother Teresa sent a bag of rice to a family with eight children. It is said that cooking has been suspended for many days. But to the nun's surprise, as soon as the hungry hostess got the rice, she divided it into two parts and hurried out with one of them. Later, Durham asked her where she had gone, and she said, "They are starving, too." It turned out that she gave half of some rice she had just got to her hungry Muslim neighbors. Therefore, Mother Teresa silently serves the poor in the spirit of fraternity and makes them feel respect, care and love.
Secondly, Mother Teresa thinks that the other side of poverty is this: many people actively express their love to people far away, such as enthusiastically participating in various charity, fund-raising and volunteer activities, but they are indifferent to the people around them, even their parents. There are still many people who have no time and energy to care for their parents and children because they are eager for more personal success or greater personal development, which leads to family regrets. Many people actually live in a deep spiritual and spiritual poverty. The mind is troubled by anxiety, doubt and great nothingness, and it cannot find the meaning and value of life.
In reality, everyone is eager to be a rich man, but doesn't want to be a poor man. However, when we blindly pursue material wealth, we unconsciously create many spiritual poor. Therefore, if you want to be a rich man, you need to be cared for spiritually and emotionally, especially from your family and people around you. As the nun said, how can we love the poor, if we can't love our children first, if we love them?
Five Essays on Reading the Biography of Mother Teresa (3)
Just after reading the biography of Mother Teresa, I found that I have a great feeling. Now I can deeply understand the mood and style of the person the author wants to describe. At the same time, I can feel the same.
When Mother Teresa went to save a person for the first time, you should know that it was a very, very dirty old man, covered in dirt, stinking and dying. To hold such a person, you need not only love, but also courage, will and strength. But Mother Teresa did it. Serving the poorest of the poor is not easy. It is not enough to have love and enthusiasm, but also great patience and selfless love.
What do people do in modern society? Of course, what I said is not absolute, but there are always some people who fall like old people, and now public opinion is afraid to help them, for fear that the old people will not leave directly after getting up. First of all, the first thing to do is to take pictures and then help. Some people turn a blind eye and leave coldly. This situation is everywhere. Of course, just for this wrestling, some old people are not short of money. Later, I felt that there was a saying that illiteracy was terrible, but I felt that it was even more terrible if a person had no faith. Mother Teresa followed her faith to the end. She feels that all actions are God's instructions, and she just comes to practice. At the same time, I also think that I am a tool in the hands of Christ, and I will leave if I work hard every day. This profound humility is particularly worthy of our understanding. In my sister's view, knowing ourselves is knowing God, so this self-knowledge can help us feel humble.
When I saw Mommy leave us, my tears came out involuntarily, but in Mommy's view, death is not the end, but the beginning and continuation of life.
On this topic, we also discussed it at the reading meeting last Friday. What I said at that time was that I read in a book that when people die, the pain of this material is ten times greater than the pain of giving birth. At this time, a classmate stood up and said, please don't impose this fear on us. Of course, she kindly reminded me not to let the painful feeling stay in my body. Actually, I haven't finished the second half. When we have faith in life, we won't be afraid of death, just as my sister said.
There is also a paragraph that my sister said, "If you want to love someone, you must love your family first. Similarly, if you want to love God, you must love your family first, and then love God by loving your neighbors. Home is the starting point of your love and your love for God. This is how ripples spread, and so do bigger waves. "
This passage also touched me a lot. First of all, we should love ourselves and have the ability to love our closest family, neighbors and friends. If we don't have enough strength, we will love all beings again. This is also the way I need to practice.
Mother Teresa walks in love, but such a thin woman is doing such great things. Her deeds are worth learning and imitating by each of us.
Five Essays on Reading the Biography of Mother Teresa (4)
Writing biographies of celebrities is probably the safest, most worry-free and most error-free. By the way, the novel is pure fiction. You should conceive a bleak framework from the beginning. Celebrity biographies are different. Several great deeds and achievements are there. Dig up some historical materials, explore the hearts of the parties, and write a little literary, not bad, clever, and two or three stars are there. Once a novel is not well written, it will be a star.
I'm surprised that Douban scored so high. Personally, I think Samsung can't be more. Probably because there are pictures and the text is easy to understand, so it is so popular? Douban search for the biography of Mother Teresa, all written by Hanako.
My first thought was that terresa's mother translated it into Dylan. . . I think it's Mother Teresa. It's too awkward to use the word "mother" in the text.
After reading the whole article, I feel that Teresa has been determined to devote herself to the Lord since she was a child. She is willing to be a nun, willing to be poor and extremely pious. She can pray for charity through prayer, perhaps because I am not a Christian or a believer, and I don't know much about it. The author's literary talent is acceptable, but he doesn't feel that he digs deep into the characters' hearts. He mostly states the facts, and his inner analysis is superficial, which makes it difficult for readers to admire him. I think Teresa has successfully completed this road with the support of faith all the way, but Teresa is also an ordinary person, not an angel who doesn't need to eat and drink. She actually chose a very difficult and difficult road. As an ordinary person rather than a saint, how did she stick to this road? Have you ever regretted it? How did she persuade people to donate money, how did she distribute the money, and how did she manage the nun pastor of the association?
Five Essays on Reading the Biography of Mother Teresa (5)
First of all, I haven't finished reading this book. A big reason is that the author's writing is too blunt, which may be because most of the author's reference materials are English, so the language has a Europeanized feeling and is not easy to read. On the other hand, the author's language is too naive, not vivid in biography, and almost straightforward, so it is difficult for people to feel Mother Teresa's life through words. So I think this is a very failed biography.
Secondly, I declare that I am an atheist and have no religious belief. I can't understand Dylan's love for Christ because I can't understand _ _, which is another reason why I didn't insist on reading this book. According to the comments, most people who read this book are religious believers, so I will explain my views on this book and Dylan as a non-religious person.
Admittedly, as an unbeliever, I would be disgusted to see the author repeatedly emphasize Dylan's love for Christ. So I doubt that "this book is not suitable for people who don't believe in _ _". I don't think having no religious belief is something to be proud of, and I don't think having religious belief can be pretended to be something to be proud of. With compassion and a clear mind, as long as you don't get lost in religion and unbelief, there is no God.
The original intention of reading this book is to feel humanistic feelings, but the humanistic feelings conveyed by this failed biography are really hard to perceive. But this brings me to another question &; The loss of modern people. I can't understand that this kind of biography should be regarded as a form of expression of modern people's sense of loss. Perhaps because of the lack of faith in God or objects other than yourself, there are fewer and fewer strong emotional expressions. Lack of pious and passionate love leads to indifference and lack of courage of modern people, and also leads people to blindly follow the trend and pursue material success. Therefore, material success has replaced the original position of faith and become the goal pursued by people. What impressed me deeply was what Dylan said: "Modern people are lost in the system."
Dylan has love in her heart, and she loves Christ, so no matter how far she goes, she knows why she started, which makes me admire. In modern times, many people's goals and beliefs are integrated (the goal is belief, such as material success as the goal and material success as the belief), but they go to extremes and get lost on the road.
Dylan's greatness lies in her dedication, which is a kind of selflessness I can't imagine. I have thought about whether this is a kind of self-loss, but from what she has done, we can see that she is completely "serving Christ" and has a clear head. This persistence not only didn't make her lose herself, on the contrary, it was this persistence that made her put aside her personal fetters, released herself and realized her great love for life. I think this is a kind of mind, a kind of character, the benevolence of Confucianism, the Tao of Taoism, the emptiness of Buddhism, and the achievement of all religions or beliefs. Mdash& ampmdash Great goodness and beauty.
Today, when many people are lost in material things, it is too vague to talk about great goodness and beauty. Self-redemption is the first step to get close to Dylan and move towards greatness and beauty. Learn to think about your own value and significance so that you won't get lost on the road. Religion is a tool to guide people towards goodness and beauty, but today too many people are too arrogant and confident, so they abandon religion and eventually get lost in their dreams.
