What our Readers Say

On a recent family jaunt to the Perth Observatory we learned that our own organic matter is much the same as the matter from which stars are made, too.

At this point my 12 year old Sagittarian son turned to me and said, "Oh is that why you do all your astro thingy-jigs? So you can find out what bits of stars I am made of?"

I hadn't quite thought of it that way, but I guess it's a good way of explaining why I first became interested in astrology and how it has assisted my quest to understand and support children.

Nicola Silva discusses life's lessons with a former nun in Mother Teresa's missionary order

Wrapped in the emblematic blue-bordered sari, Mother Teresa's wrinkle-wreathed face symbolised hope, courage and compassion for almost 50 years.

She inspired the world by caring for people living in desperate poverty in Calcutta's teeming slums, earning the sobriquet "Saint of the Gutters". Among those whom she inspired was an Australian teenager, Colette Livermore.

From an early age, Colette had been keen to study medicine. Then, shortly before her HSC exam, she saw the film Something Beautiful for God which depicts how Mother Teresa heard the call of Christ to serve the dying, sick and homeless in riot-torn Calcutta. This film resonated deeply with Colette's ideals.
