Emphasis Preaching Journal

The first building that Mother Teresa began to operate out of in India was formerly a kind of hotel that people used when they went to visit the temple of Kali, who is the Hindu goddess of death. Mother Teresa converted the building that had once been used by people who worshiped death. She transformed it into a symbol of the life-giving love that God has for all people. Into that building Mother Teresa and her helpers began to gather the sick and the dying people of Calcutta who had been left on the sidewalks and in the gutters.
