SANT’ANGELO IN VADO

 

 

 

 

This year, studying and gathering information about the main rights of human beings, we dwelt a lot on the freedom of conscience and religion and we talked about the story of Madre Teresa di Calcutta, a woman who tried to tutelate  this freedom  in every country.

Madre Teresa( 26th august 1910– 5th September 1997 Calcutta), was a symbol  of 20^th century, a little woman that struggled very hard against the poverty and worked all her life to spread a message of love and hope to everyone.

Her life was a radical choice; she went beyond many apparently insuperable obstacles, with her infinite love for the other people; she approached lots of followers of many different religions.

She used to bring so much hope and un conditionate love with her.

When she walked among the people, dressed in her unmistakable white and blue sari, the faces of them used to become brighten.

She was a small woman but she had an immense mind, her opera was a model for many people.

In India she is venerated and beloved, and all around the world her name is a symbol of purity, freedom, respect and admiration.  She was proclaimed blessed by Giovanni Paolo II, but for many  people she was already a saint when she was alive.

Madre Teresa was one of the most beloved and respected people of the modern world, just an only woman; the general secretary of United Nations, Javier Pérez  Décueller, proclaimed for her: “she is the United Nations, she is the peace in the world”. During Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s life many significant episodes valorised her personality, leading her to become the most beloved human being in the world. Very important moments of her life  were the meetings with the world poorest populations.

She used to lead all the people to her hospital , where they were assisted and they had the possibility of dying with dignity, following their own religions rites.

She read the Coran to the Muslims, she gave the Gange’s water to the Indus, and the Extreme Unction to the Catholics. The most touching stories were some events in India, with children and guys as protagonists.
