The scripture reference referring to feeding the hungry and clothing the naked should be done as unto the Lord from the book of Matthew, epitomizes what Mother Teresa is all about. “Mother Teresa-In the Name of God’s Poor” is an outstanding DVD. The nuns, priests, staff and the girls are all safe and well while, outside the walls of the convent, political unrest and war causes riots and famine spreads throughout the land. When Sister Teresa finds out there is no food for the girls, she and another nun leave the safety of the convent in search for food. While outside, she discovers the utter destitution of India. And, during this outing, she begins the calling of God on her life to help the poorest of the poor. She goes to one of the poorest areas of India and starts making a difference in the lives of those living there. Her ministry extends farther and she starts a hospital for these people who the rest of the country have rejected. Some of the students at the convent join her and a new order is formed. Sis Teresa applies for the right to start another church and, after much turmoil, it is granted, giving her the new title of “Mother Teresa”.
This is an awesome DVD and should be viewed by all. It is a wonderful opportunity for parents to discuss with the family the devastation that is not only in India, but all countries, even America. It also provides a venue for helping. The Dove Foundation awards this DVD five Doves, our highest rating.
