BANGALORE, Karnataka, Aug. 30, 2010, 09:50 Hrs (SAR NEWS):

Blessed Mother Teresa’s contribution to society and the Church is immense and her life is an inspiration to the whole world, said Archbishop Bernard Moras of Bangalore.

Presiding over a concelebrated Mass on the birth centenary celebration of Mother Teresa at the St. Francis Xavier Cathedral here, August 26, in his homily he said: “Mother showed how we can make a difference in others’ lives. She was very close to God always and attributed her work to Jesus.”

Mother Teresa did ordinary things with extraordinary love, the archbishop said. He thanked the Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, urging them to continue the good work and reach out to the poor and needy.

An exhibition portraying the life and works of Mother Teresa was organised on the Cathedral premises, as part of the celebrations. Special pictures and extracts from her diary were put on display.

The Missionaries of Charity congregation, founded by Mother, has two houses in Bangalore.
