I hope she forgave me. I would still love to go to Calcutta and help her nuns, the Missionaries of Charity, to care for the poorest of the poor. But since that time when I met the saint as a teenager, Mother Teresa and her life have been a constant fixture in my heart as I cannot help but be enamored by her selflessness and her life of constant prayer and wanting to help others. It’s something that has deeply affected me and I always recall her with special remembrance on September 5th, the day she left this world for the next.
