> The death of Mother Theresa is an immense loss for humanity. She was a
> living example of the human capacity to generate infinite love, compassion
> and altruism. Her work and life embodied these noble and universal human
> values for people all over the world across the barriers of race,
> nationality, culture and religion.
> 
> Today's world requires us to realise and accept the oneness of humanity and
> develop a sense of universal responsibility and caring.  Although mordern
> science and technology had made greate contributions in solving many of
> mankind's problems, it is obvious that the challenges and issues faced by
> the global community today require us to cultivate not only the rational
> mind but also the other faculties of the human spirit; the power of love,
> compassion and solidarity. Mother Theresa was a towering embodiment of this
> human spirit and her great compassion an inspiring example of the true
> essence and potential of spiritual life.
