“Mother Teresa will soon be beatified by Pope John Paul II in Rome, and I would like to take this opportunity to honor the model that she was for the world by promoting love and respect for all. We in Congress often get overwhelmed with the amount of work and issues that we are faced with each day, but Mother Teresa put into perspective our mission when she said, ``We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.'' Mother Teresa embodied the ultimate spirit of public service by giving a 100 percent of herself to her constituents: the poor, the hungry, the homeless and, most of all, the unloved. Her determination to make the world a better place has left its mark on history and humanity. ``It is not how much we do, but how much love we put into doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving,'' said Mother Teresa. Let us not forget this valuable wisdom as the world honors Mother Teresa next month.”
