1. The suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent
walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she
received permission from her superiors to leave the convent
school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the
poor in the slums of Calcutta.

2. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence,
and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she
was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was
also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope
of her work.

Words of wisdom:

1. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today.
Let us begin. 即時行動

2. If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive. 寬恕

3. The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is
a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful
freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are
perfectly
happy.
penance n. 苦差事 贖罪 mortification n. 羞辱

4. Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little
things is a great thing.

5. A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves.
The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the
fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of
service is peace. 犧牲奉獻能給人們的好處
