Address of Saint Teresa of Calcutta to the National Prayer Breakfast, United States,
1994:
Jesus died on the Cross because that is what it took for Him to do good to us-to save
us from our selfishness in sin. He gave up everything to do the Father's will-to show us
that we too must be willing to give up everything to do God's will-to love one another as
He loves each of us. If we are not willing to give whatever it takes to do good to one
another, sin is still in us. That is why we too must give to each other until it hurts.
It is not enough for us to say: "I love God," but I also have to love my neighbor. St. John
says that you are a liar if you say you love God and you don't love your neighbor. How
can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor whom you
see, whom you touch, with whom you live? And so it is very important for us to realize
that love, to be true, has to hurt. I must be willing to give whatever it takes not to harm
other people and, in fact, to do good to them. This requires that I be willing to give until
it hurts. Otherwise, there is not true love in me and I bring injustice, not peace, to those
around me.

1. In your view, what perspective influenced Mother Teresa's views on human


relations? The digninity of a human being and help the poorest of the poor and her
relationship to other people.
2. In what way will loving your fellow man enable you to love God?
we are born in the image and likeness of God. we are considered the highest beings,
so everything we do is a direct reflection of how we treat God. By showing our love to
others, we also show God that we love Him as we obey His word and the teachings of
the Bible. Furthermore, by respecting others, we also respect ourselves and God's
creatures. If we hate humanity then we also hate God.

3. What is your personal view on "giving until it hurts"? Do you believe you are
capable of doing so? "giving until it hurts" in my opinion is sacrificing one self for the
benefit of a person that person can be a loved me a relative a friend I think I am
capable of doing this especially if the situation involved ones like my mother my siblings
they all closed to me that way im willing to offer my life.
Account of human experiments conducted by Nazi scientists, from the Nuremberg
Military Trials.
Highly esteemed Reich Leader
Enclosed is an interim report on the low-pressure experiments so far conducted in the
concentration camp of Dachau.
Only continuous experiments at altitudes higher than 10.5 km resulted in death. These
experiments showed that breathing stopped after about 30 minutes, while in two cases
the electrocardiographically charted action of the heart continued for another 20
minutes.
The third experiment of this type took such an extraordinary course that I called an SS
physician of the camp as a witness, since I had worked on these experiments all by
myself. It was a continuous experiment without oxygen at a height of 12 Km conducted
on a 37-year old Jew in good general condition. Breathing continued up to 30 minutes.
After 4 minutes the experimental subject began to perspire and to wiggle his head, after
5 minutes cramps occurred, between 6 and 10 minutes breathing increased in speed
and the experimental subject became unconscious; from 11 to 30 minutes breathing
slowed down to three breaths per minute, finally stopping altogether.

1. What perspective on human relations do you think influenced the actions of the
Nazis in conducting the experiments? The Nazis are very cruel people they were the
ones who killed many jaws during WW ll they are range full and as there is no god in the
hearts while killing the jaws alive and they seem to be happy seeing them brutal
condition.
2. How were the human subjects viewed by the experimenters? What does this say
about the belief of the Nazis? Humans perceived the Nazis as godless people anti
Christ and demonic the Nazis believed that if jaws are all eliminated on earth the world
will be theirs.
3. What conclusions can you draw regarding the morality of the actions of the
people who conducted the experiments?
I therefore conclude that those that conducted the experiments are heartless people
unbelievers cruel and they only believed in themselves
4. Is the perspective adopted by the Nazis still evident in today's society?
In some cases I think this is mentally still exist some practice earth Asia or mercy killing.
