Mother Teresa was moved by the presence of the sick and dying on the streets of Kolkata. She founded the home for the dying destitute and named it, Nirmal Hridoy, meaning pure heart. She and her fellow nuns gathered the dying people off the streets of Kolkata and brought them to home. they were lovingly looked after and cared for. Since then man, woman and children have been taken from the streets are carried to Nirmal Hridoy. These unloved and uncared for people get an opportunity did in an environment of kindness and love. In their last hours they get human and divine love, and can feel teel they are children of God. The missionaries of charity try to find jobs for those who survive,or send them to homes where they can live happily for some more years in a caring environment. regarding commitment to family, mother Teresa said, may be in our own family, we have somebody,who is feeling lonely,who is feeling sick, who is feeling worried. are we there? are we willing to give until it hurts in order to be with our families,or do we put out interest first? we must remember that love begin at home and we must also remember that future of humanity passes the family.
