February 24 - Be a fountain of salvation

Woe to the person who is guided by self-will!  He or she wishes to be a master, that is to say, his or her own master, but precisely thereby becomes a slave and a cistern of misery instead of a fountain of salvation, which only God is and can be. 
Blessed M. Theresa Gerhardinger, 3
Trust & Dare, February 24

The figure of Mother Theresa is part of the water fountain  created by Toni Rückel in 1987.  Other figures include the Blessed Mother, St. Elizabeth of Thüringen, St. Notburga, St. Rita as well as other holy women of this particular area.  The fountain is located in Wies, near Freising.
