| Abstract: | It all began more than 40 years ago when a young nun of
Slavic descent received a call to leave her convent in
Calcutta and work among the poorest of the poor. Today
Mother Teresa's Missionaries of charity,a small army of
sisters,brothers,priests and volunteers,bring love and
caring to hundreds of thousands of the sick,hungry and
homeless in 71 countries around the world.
Who is Mother Teresa, and why does her Order continue to
flourish while other missionary groups decline in number?
To find out,Reader's Digest roving editor Courtney Tower
spent seven Weeks following Mother Teresa and visiting her
leper colonies,AIDS facilities,schools,free-food kitchens
and homes for the dying and destitute. In this moving
special report,he tells how she has built her life around
the belief that in serving the poorest we directly serve God. Source of Abstract: Written by Kamat Editorial Team |
