The owner of a heart overflowing with mercy and maternal love, who firmly believed only in God's love, believed that she was a toy in the hands of God, who copied the example of the good Samaritan in life, and there are countless adjectives to say about Mother Teresa. Calcutta's own mother passed through the streets of Calcutta lighting the way of unconditional love.
Pope Francis sent a letter of thanks and love to the Knights of Columbus for a new documentary on Mother Teresa.
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic organization dedicated to promoting and carrying out charitable, religious and social welfare activities and providing mutual aid and assistance to the sick and needy.
Thank you for all the efforts made to copy the life of Mother Teresa, who gave witness to Christ with her life. The Holy Father wrote in a letter addressed to Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly. He added that those who watch the documentary will awaken a desire for purity.
Screenings of "Mother Teresa: No Greater Love" were held this week at the North American College Seminary in Rome on August 29 and at the Vatican Film Library on August 31.
Documentary director David Naglieri said that there is a generation that doesn't know much about Mother Teresa and let them get to know the saint better in the documentary.
"I felt that this film was very necessary today to remind people of the incredible life of the saint and the incredible work that the Missionaries of Charity continue to do," says Naglieri. The Missionaries of Charity is a community of nuns founded by Mother Teresa in 1950. Kelly also adds to the film's potential to teach young people about St. Teresa of Calcutta.
Asked why the philanthropic organization supported the film, Kelly said, "Our sole purpose is charity, and there's no better example of that than Mother Teresa."
But the most important purpose is to tell about the saint to the new generation who do not know about Mother Teresa. Everyone has heard about her, but there is no room to know anything more. The young people who are now seminary students were only ten years old when Mother Teresa died, so they are like a saint who lived and died in the past. There is a way to know her.
