Memorial of Mother Teresa

"God still loves the world through you and through me today" - Mother Teresa

This is printed on the front page of a brochure I received from a nun on my flight to Warsaw in May 2013. She is from the Missionaries of Charity (MC), a Roman Catholic organisation, established by Mother Teresa in 1950. She was on the way back to visit her family after having served 10 years in MC. I had a short chat with this nun and was very impressed with her serenity and dedication to the mission.

Little did I know then that several months down the road, I would have the opportunity to visit Macedonia, the country where Mother Teresa was born. I visited the Memorial of Mother Teresa in Skopje.

The memorial house cum museum is situated at the exact location where the old Sacred Heart of Jesus church was located. Mother Teresa was baptised in this church.

The museum was closed when we visited, so only took some pictures from the outside.
