Denver Catholic

9 DENVER CATHOLIC | SEPTEMBER 22-OCTOBER 12, 2018 patients decreased and they began run- ning a shelter for women. Denver's Missionaries of Charity now serve in a variety of ways. Other than running the shelter, they help with cat- echesis and participate in summer camps at Sacred Heart and St. Joseph parishes, take communion to the homebound, visit the imprisoned and talk to people experiencing homelessness at Civic Center Park on a weekly basis. MEMORIES OF 'MOTHER' The four sisters that form part of the religious community in Denver and their regional superior fi rmly believe that the exhibit can bring to life the humility and love that the saint radi- ated in person, as some testifi ed when being in her presence. Sister Gregorina recalled serving with her in India: "When we would come back together in the car, she used to tell us to see Jesus in the poor, no matter if they were Hindu, Muslim or whatever religion because they were human beings," she said. "And so, we would bring peasants [from the street] and give them a little bit of water before they died. Some of them would die after half an hour, but Mother used to say, 'Let them not die on the streets, let them die with dignity.'" "You could see the holiness of Mother, that's how special Mother was," Sister Chandrika remembered. "You could know she was very close to God, you could see the presence of God [in her]. At the same time, she shared with everybody, with the sisters, with the people. [She was] very joyful and very personal. You felt like you were in heaven. I would feel very close to God by being close to Mother." Sister Gregorina also vividly recalled how Mother Teresa would express her gratitude to the parents of the sisters saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, for o„ ering your daughter. Thank you!" Sister Immaculate thinks that this exhibit can be touching and help people renew a sense of prayer in di‹ cult times, as the saint did. "When there were so many things going on, she would go kneel down and pray," she said. "When somebody would ask her, 'Why are you so peace- ful?' Mother would say, 'Because I pray.' That was the only answer Mother gave." Give a gift today and help more families like Fawn's stay together and find lasting hope. Catholic Charities helped Fawn and her children change their lives.
