103rd birth anniversary of Mother Teresa

"On the August 26, it is the birthday of Mother Teresa. 103 years ago, "God gave Mother Teresa to the world" that the world may know that they are loved and that they are children of God, brothers and sisters of each other. In 1997, 15 years ago God took her from us and we seek her continual blessings in the work and also in the people who are drawn to God through Mother, to see Mother's works and the work which continues," said Sister Prema.

Sister Prema said that they should follow the teachings of Mother and spread the message of love and compassion. "In today's world, Mother, as she did during her life, teaches us that we love one another, especially those in our own families, that we want everyone whom God puts with us, especially the children. Those children who are not yet born and they need the protection of the family that we allow them to be born and grow into human beings full of love for God," said Sister Prema.
