They can watch their grand children growing up around them and perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue on the fight.

In 1948, when Mother Teresa was a teacher at St. Mary’s High School, Calcutta, her gaze would often wonder to the window. Beyond the pristine world of the convent, the vicious poverty of Calcutta swarmed menacingly. Soon after, the nun bid goodbye to the security of the convent and stepped into the reality of squalor and objection around, only with her faith in divine providence. “I decided to follow Christ into the slums”. She would later say of her calling.

Her work commenced as an open-air school for slum children. Her courage of conviction drew volunteers. Financial support and encouragement poured in and extended the scope of her work. In 1950, Mother Teresa was granted permission from the Archdiocese of Calcutta too begin her own order, “The missionaries of charity”, whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after.

From the lovels of Calcutta, the missionaries have spread their wings today across Africa, the Republic of South Africa, the Republic of South America, The United States, Canada, even parts of the erstwhile Soviet Union.
