Mother Teresa’s selfless and untiring service to the poor of the poorest, orphaned and sick people on the streets of Kolkata will be remembered by every Indian. It is gratifying to note that Pope Francis, the Head of the Vatican has recognized her charitable services to humanity and will declare her a saint on September 4, this year on the occasion of her 19th death anniversary. Mother Teresa becoming a saint will be greeted with joy by a large number of Indians who have admired her for the help she and the sisters of the Missionary of Charity has extended to the ailing among the poorest people of Kolkata and other parts of India. Mother Teresa is already a saint in the hearts of many Indians. Every Indian should be proud of her.
