In this episode, the dogs talk about Rob's Sabbath activities (1:50) and Connor's obsession with Milanos (6:00). Connor brings up the Mother Teresa documentary (7:10) and they all discuss why she is so initially intimidating (10:42) and ultimately disarming (26:50). They close the episode with love for all the Teresas (34:34). Quotes: “Engagement with that kind of poverty... the truly untouchable, Mother Teresa so radically went to them and was willing to be affected by them in a way that I resist.” (Connor, 10:42) “You go into some of those rooms (at the gift of grace house) and it engages all of your humanity; it’s a very tangible experience of the “marginalized"." (Mike, 18:00) "Mother Teresa enters into that discomfort in this really remarkable way that can be intimidating." (Mike, 18:35) “You have no lifelines there (with the poor); you’re totally dependent on God.” (Mike, 19:10) "Get comfortable being uncomfortable." (Mike quoting his siblings, 20:40) "The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." (Connor quoting Pope Benedict XVI, 22:15). “What she (Mother Teresa) was up to was not solving world hunger, the goal of what she was doing was communion with God... What was driving her, from the beginning, was a desire to be with Jesus and where she rested at the end of her day was in the company of Jesus.” (Connor, 24:30) “The MCs are so joyful.... They are not spiritually intimidating; they are spiritually disarming.” (Mike, 26:50) “It’s the circumstances I find myself in, that’s God’s will for me and that’s what she (Mother Teresa) would want me to do.” (Connor, 31:40) “She (Mother Teresa) was disarming because in her own freedom, she was able to love the person in front of her.” (Rob, 36:00) Media Mentions: Jane Austen's Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice (2005)Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two CitiesMother Teresa: No Greater Love (2022)Mother Mary Francis' Blessed Are YouQueen's Bohemian Rhapsody References: LaCroixFOCUS missionariesOur Lady's SandlotJane GoodallM.
