The idea of obedience has haunted me for a few weeks. Eventually I read everything that Mother Teresa wrote about obedience, and I was not let down. Much of what I read was written for her community and talked about the role of obedience in religious community life. However, nearly every point she made could also be perfectly applied to the family and marriage.
So that is basically what this week's episode is--a summary of Mother Teresa's teaching on Obedience. In a very real way it's like she's my guest. I am still learning to be obedient in my marriage, my family and my faith life, so I needed a real expert to teach us all, and for that I looked to Mother Teresa.
