Malcolm Muggeridge, the British journalist and Christian, tells of the time he escorted Mother Teresa to her first television interview in New York. She had never been in an American TV studio before. What amazed her most were the advertisments that interrupted the show every few minutes.
On this particular day the ads were for diet foods designed to keep you slim and provide a minimum of calories. What a bizarre circumstance! Here was a woman, whose life was dedicated to putting flesh on human skeletons, being interviewed on a program whose sponsor was dedicated to convincing people to spend money on food that would not fatten them; this in a world where the disparity between the hungry and the well-fed grows greater every day.
At that moment Mother Teresa made a quiet statement probably never heard in that studio before. She said, "I see Christ is needed in television studios also." Like some modern Peter in Jerusalem following Pentecost she was forgiving of ignorance, but now that the risen Christ was on the scene, she was constrained to call for repentance, "that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."
