I am looking for a primary source, direct citation of Mother Teresa
saying or writing something to the effect: "We do not believe in class
struggle (or conflict) but in class encounter:  where the rich save
teh poor and the poor save the rich."

A very similar quote appears on pages 97 and 98 of the book "No
Greater Love," by Mother Teresa:

"We have no right to judge the rich. For our part, what we desire is
not a class struggle but a class encounter, in which the rich save the
poor and the poor save the rich."

Please let me know if this would constitute a fully satisfactory answer.

This is precisely the citation I was looking for.  Thanks.

I'm pleased to have been able to help you locate a source for the
quotation. As noted above, this quote may be found on pages 97-98 of
the book "No Greater Love," by Mother Teresa (ISBN: 1577312015). It
appears within a chapter whose title is "On Poverty & the Poor."

"We have no right to judge the rich. For our part, what we desire is
not a class struggle but a class encounter, in which the rich save the
poor and the poor save the rich."

I located the quote with the use of Amazon's A9 search engine:

A9: "the rich save the poor and the poor save the rich"
http://a9.com/%22the%20rich%20save%20the%20poor%20and%20the%20poor%20save%20the%20rich%22

Best regards,
