Mother Teresa and Muriel Alvares

 







Mother Teresa pulled out of her saree pocket and gave me this little prayer card I have stuck on the frame...🙏

She came out of her humble bed and met me outside her bedroom (the brown wooden shutters of her bedroom are above my head, as I knelt down for her blessings...

Thank you, Cyprian; I consider myself blessed - I missed mentioning that in July 1996 (a year before she passed away) while on a business trip to Calcutta, I barged into Mother Teresa's home, she was very ill in bed, however, she came out and blessed me, she passed away a year later, September 1997!

My great wish of meeting Mother Teresa in person was fulfilled with her laying her hand on my head and blessing me - I have one picture taken by a Goan gentleman, with my little Minolta camera, who was visiting at the same time - shall fwd it to you, truly a MIRACLE and BLESSING...🙏

Our daughter, Melissa, was in Rome for her beatification, October 03, 2003, and my husband and I for her canonization, September 04, 2016...🙏🙏

Needless to say, I have special affinity to Saint Teresa of Calcutta...❤️

Have to live with pain for the rest of my life! Home at last, thanks to all of your prayers and kind wishes! From Mzee Mervyn Maciel to all of you. Morning Skip. Please don’t think I am or have been ignoring you – quite the opposite hard to spill it out with diminishing gufu (strength). Wish they could establish what is causing the chronic bleeding in my brain region. I want to sing again and write so much however gufu na shindwa mimi (lack strength is hampering me. Please thank everyone for their prayers and for enriching my life. I was the dunce in the family: My brothers Rev Joseph SJ and the late Wilfrid are my heroes. I owe them so much, also my darling Elsie and each of my loving children, including Conrad who suffered so much during his short life. Our faith kept us going during those painful days in Marsab...
