Comment on point of view

Mother Teresa's perspective is not subtle at all. She is a deeply committed Christian, altruist and egalitarian. First, Teresa accepts a particularly radical Catholic conception of Christianity. She believes that salvation comes through faith in God, but she has a highly works-oriented conception of merit before God, meaning that one can merit God's favor according to one's service to God's will. She over and over again emphasizes that on judgment day God will judge us according to our service to the weakest among us.
