About this ebook
With relentless dedication, she started serving the poor despite having no means to do so. She fought paucity of resources as well as self-doubt during the first year of her work in slums. Penning down what she was experiencing, she wrote in her diary,
“Our Lord wants me to be a free nun covered with the poverty of the cross. Today, I learned a good lesson. The poverty of the poor must be so hard for them. While looking for a home I walked and walked till my arms and legs ached. I thought how much they must ache in body and soul, looking for a home, food and health. Then the comfort of Loreto came to tempt me. ‘You have only to say the word and all that will be yours again’, the Tempter kept on saying...Of free choice, my God and out of love for you, I desire to remain and do whatever be your Holy will in my regard. I did not let a single tear come.”
