Routine Oct 19 for these nuns
Camil Parkhe, TNN, Oct 17, 2003, 12.56am IST
PUNE: It will be “business as usual” for the local nuns of the Missionaries of Charity (MC) on October 19, when churches in the country and abroad celebrate the beatification of their founder, Mother Teresa.
Beatification is a step prior to the declaration of sainthood. The Pope has chosen October 19 — the day he celebrates the silver jubilee of his own Pontificate — for Mother Teresa’s beatification.
The Catholic church all over the country has arranged many programmes to commemorate the beatification of Mother Teresa on Sunday. But the nuns from the MC’s two city houses will — as always — be busy on that day, attending to their 200-odd sick and dying destitute inmates.
The “Mother Teresa sisters” — as the MC nuns are popularly called — personally look after the needs of the destitute at their homes. A group of eight nuns at the Tadiwala road home attends to the needs of over 120 female destitutes, while six others take care of over 100 male destitutes at the MC’s home in Chinchwad.
A visit to these homes will testify the selfless service offered by these nuns to people belonging to all castes and religions.
