Missionaries of Charity Helping India

21-09-2008

Mother Teresa's sisters and brothers are serving the downtrodden, the marginalized, the stigmatized, ostracized and the abandoned, in a courageous and heroic manner. Innocent children, the aged and infirm with deformities and handicaps, still find reason to smile in the innumerable houses served by the Mother Teresa sisters and brothers across India.

If one moves through the streets of Kolkata, one comes across hundreds of Indian and overseas young volunteers, cheerfully going about doing voluntary works in the various houses of the Charity sisters and brothers in the crowded City of Joy. They seem to enjoy the challenges and keep coming back to Kolkata to be with the love-radiating inmates from among the sick, downtrodden, abandoned and leprosy combatants in Kolkata, Cooch Behar, Asansol, Nongpoh and other homes of service in different parts of India.

The remarkable Mother Teresa sisters and brothers continue their kind deeds day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year in different Indian towns and villages. Through their love for sacrifice, simplicity and poverty, humility, prayer and respect for the sacredness of the other, they continue to spread the good news that each and every human being is special and made in the image and likeness of the Creator.

Brethren from different creeds and cultures in India as well as those coming from overseas marvel at the magnanimity and generosity practiced day in and day out by the Teresa sisters, brothers and their innumerable humble collaborators across the planet.

Our India is certainly blessed with so many selfless workers who continue to serve without counting the cost. Many claim to have been inspired by the sacrifices of our humble sisters and brothers of charity. May they and their inspiring collaborators, the abandoned kids, leprosy-affected brethren and all other "differently-abled" fellow humans be blessed in abundance.
