But this is no ordinary exhibition. To enter more fully into spiritual communion with Mother Teresa after admiring the exhibits visitors, visitors may spend some time in an adjacent chapel where there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
The Postulators say “Our intention is to help people meet the person of Mother Teresa, her humanity, her daily life. Through her poor belongings, photographs, writings, most of them never published, Mother will speak to the visitor”.
Her belongings include the crucifix of her religious profession, well worn prayer books, sandals which have seen better days, a nursing course notebook, international awards received.
