In 1982, Mother Teresa was asked by the Holy Father to travel to Beirut, an area which at this time was desolate from war and destruction. Mother Teresa felt the need to save the people of this war torn area, especially the suffering children. When she arrived she carried with her an Easter candle with the image of the Madonna and Child on it. At 4 PM, during the height of the bombing and shelling, Mother Teresa lit the candle, at 5 PM everything became quiet. This exemplifies Mother Teresa's great trust in God, and his love for her and all of creation.
