I have a different take on MT. I think she was vibrant and energetic, full of peace and joy. Maybe we saw different parts of the same person. Here is a little poem she wrote (special note to the last verse):
The very fact that God has placed a certain soul
in our way is a sign that
God wants us to do something for him or her.
It is not chance;
It has been planned by God.
We are bound by conscience to help him or her.
Once we take our eyes away
from ourselves, from our interests,
from our own rights, privileges, ambitions -
then our eyes will become clear
to see Jesus around us.
Keep the joy of loving Jesus
in your heart
and share this joy
with all you meet especially your family.
