Mother Teresa Remembered.
The lady had told the astounded
Mother that it was her own son who had thrown her to the garbage bin, having
forced her to sign her last will and testament.
The Mother told the lady that the
time was near to meet her maker and that she should forgive her son so that she
may go in peace at which the lady, a mother herself, expressed her inability to
cleanse her soul of the hatred she he harbored against her son.
Gently tending the dying lady
with saintly compassion, the Mother touched and transformed her and as she
prayed for her, the lady’s life flickered out but before that she looked at the
Mother and told her that she had forgiven her son and a smile spread across her
face. In death she was blessed.
This was one of the various anecdotes
from the life and times of Mother Teresa that Navin Chawla shared with the St.
Xavier’s College auditorium packed with nuns and sisters from the Missionaries
of Charity, Rev. Fathers, professors, alumni members and students of the
college.
Initiated by Rev. Fr. Dr. J. Felix
Raj, SJ, the Principal of the College and a close associate of the Mother, the
programme was graced by HG. Rt. Rev. Thomas D’Souza, the Archbishop of Calcutta
and the Superior General of the Missionaries of Charities
Snehasish Sur,the immediate Past
Secretary of the SXCCAA conducted the proceedings while Firdausul Hasan, Hon.
Secretary gave the vote of thanks.
