Mother Teresa
Many people have been criticizing Mother Teresa and her congregation, this also happened last year in Great Britain. The accusation was that the sisters are not professional enough and don't take enough time to care for their people.
I have met Mother and worked with the sisters occasionally all over the world. And this is my answer to this accusations:
Mother never has claimed to make hospitals, homes, etc. just as they are known in the west. This is not why she started the society. She herself says: "we are not social workers". Mother started the Society to love Jesus in the poorest of the poor and through this free service and love, show Gods' love to them. Because the poor are loved they, find back dignity and self-respect and they are more self-aware and find back the joy of living. Human beings only 'exist' through love.
Anyone who feels he can do better is free to do so:
Calcutta - but also other big world cities - is still and will be for some more time full of poor and needy;
that person has to respond to some conditions:
be prepared to spend his life freely to this service
find the funds
be charismatic enough to find volunteers, he/she will need them
I admire the sisters for their courage, their love, their patience. I admit that I don't have the mental strength to live this life longer than a week. So God spare me: I will never criticize those who do.
