Mother Teresa "Missionary of the Millennium"
Speaking to AsiaNews, Mgr. Lobo recalled: "My association with Mother began as a young seminarian the 4th August 1968,when she had come to Morning Star College and she spoke to us of the Love of Christ, her simplicity and her devotion to her mission was palpable. She was totally dedicated to the cause of Christ, in her absolute submission to God until her last breath". It is this dedication that had a particular influence over the Indian people.
The case of Kapil Dev, captain of Indian cricket, is exemplary. As the bishop said, "the player had no children. In 1995, he met Mother Teresa, telling her he had been trying to have children for 14 years without success. The Mother blessed him saying not to worry, because God is good. Months later, Kapil's wife gave birth to a daughter. As Dev said “little Amiya is a gift of Mother Teresa”.
"For me – continues Mgr. Lobo - Mother Teresa was a real mother and often she was my counsel and guide and gave me peace of mind and direction in life, I cannot divulge additional details as I had to take an oath of confidentiality for the commission, but she was a light for all India".
