Friends of the Rosary, Today, September 5th, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata), affectionally known as Mother Teresa, a universal symbol of God's merciful, preferential love for the poor and forgotten and a living witness to the thirsting love of God. Nun, missionary, and teacher in Calcutta, India, St. Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997), left a testament to unshakable faith, invincible hope, and extraordinary charity. She was a soul filled with the light of Christ, on fire with love for Him. “By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.” She received the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize in 1971, the Indian Padmashri Award in 1962, and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She received those prizes “for the glory of God and in the name of the poor.” Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a saint of heroic virtues and miracles, was entrusted with proclaiming God's thirsting love for humanity, especially for the poorest poor. “God still loves the world, and He sends you and me to be His love and compassion for the poor.” Jesus revealed to her His heart's desire for “victims of love” who would “radiate His love on souls.” “Come be My light,” He begged her. I cannot go alone.” He asked Mother Teresa to establish a religious community, the Missionaries of Charity, dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor. Today, the Congregation works in 30 countries. She started each day in communion with Jesus in the Eucharist and then went out, rosary in her hand, to find and serve Him in “the unwanted, the unloved, the uncared for.” After her death, another heroic side of Mother Teresa was revealed: her inner experience of darkness. Hidden from all eyes was her interior life marked by an experience of a deep, painful feeling of being separated from God, even rejected by Him. She called it the "painful night" of her soul, which began when she started working for the poor and continued until the end of her life. Through the darkness, she mystically participated in Jesus's thirst, His painful and burning longing for love, and shared in the poor's interior desolation. Mother Teresa expired on September 5, 1997, and was beatified only six years later, on October 19, 2003. She was a fierce defender of the unborn, saying: "If you hear of some woman who does not want to keep her child and wants to have an abortion, try to persuade her to bring him to me. I will love that child, seeing the sign of God's love in him." Also, Mother Teresa once said, "A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves. The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace." She also said, "Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things if you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness."  Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Teresa of Calcutta, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠September 5, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Friends of the Rosary: We honor today St. Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997), affectionally called "Mother Teresa. This Albanian nun received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and founded in Calcutta, India, the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, established in 30 countries today. St. Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata) proclaimed God's thirsting love for humanity, especially for the poorest of the poor. She was a soul filled with the light of Christ, on fire with love for Him and a burning desire “to quench His thirst for love and for souls.” “God still loves the world and He sends you and me to be His love and His compassion to the poor.” She started each day in communion with Jesus in the Eucharist and then went out, rosary in her hand, to find and serve Him in “the unwanted, the unloved, the uncared for.” She was witness to the joy of love, the dignity of every human person, and the value of little things done faithfully and with love. She experienced an interior life marked by moments of deep feeling of being separated from God, even rejected by Him, a “painful night” of her soul. This pain would lead Mother Teresa to an ever more profound union with God. Mother Teresa left a testament of unshakable faith, invincible hope, and extraordinary charity. Pope John Paul II canonized Mother Teresa for her heroic virtues and miracles. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Teresa of Calcutta, Pray for Us!

When the East India Company surrendered Fort William (in modern-day Kolkata) to the Nawab of Bengal on 20th June, 1756, dozens of British captives were imprisoned in a cell measuring only 18ft long and 14ft wide, with just two tiny windows - ‘the Black Hole of Calcutta'. Among the prisoners was John Zephaniah Holwell, whose pamphlet describing the terrors of the airless room caused a sensation back in Britain and became a cause célèbre in the idealization of imperialism in India. Holwell claimed 123 men lost their lives in the cell, although it is now thought the number of deaths was exaggerated. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover Holwell's mixed feelings around colonialism; consider how ‘the black hole of Calcutta' became an enduring term of phrase; and reveal what connected Kolkata with Olly's home village in Hertfordshire… Further Reading: • ‘A Genuine Narrative of the Deplorable Deaths of the English Gentlemen, and Others, who Were Suffocated in the Black-Hole in Fort-William, at Calcutta, in the Kingdom of Bengal, in the Night Succeeding the 20th Day of June, 1756, in a Letter to a Friend - By John Zephaniah Holwell' (A.

At Sanctuary we believe that isolation is the Number One tool that the enemy uses to break down the leader out in front. All too often, the ministry leader bears the burden of loneliness and the defeating thoughts like "I'm the only one who deals with..." But what if we break up the lie of isolation and combat it with honor, encouragement, and connection? MVP Leader Group founders Terry and Sam Allen give their own bare-faced accounts of what these three gifts have provided for them personally and how they're on a mission to distribute honor, encouragement, and connection to ministry and business leaders from coast to coast.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Terry & Samalee “Sam” Allen come from very different backgrounds, but both as students knew God had placed a call for ministry on their hearts. The Allens have been in ministry, together, longer than they've been married. They served as youth pastors in two states, as well as in state leadership with the Assemblies of God in Tennessee. Terry and “Sam” served with Huldah Buntain & the late Reverend Randy Valimont in the equipping effort of Calcutta Mercy in Calcutta/Kolkata, India.  Terry and “Sam” are quite aware of the stresses and challenges of ministry. The Lord has birthed a heart for ministry to ministers in the Allens' hearts and in 2019 they launched MVP Leader Group.  MVP Leader Group is a creative encouragement network to Encourage. Honor. and Connect ministry and business leaders, both male and female. Currently, MVP Leader Group has a footprint in 24 states. The Allens make their home in Nashville, Tennessee near their son and daughter-in-love, Dane & Emily. The countdown is on for the arrival of their first grandchild in March 2021.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Looking for inspiration and encouragement? Stop by Sanctuary and discover the wealth of resources provided for ministry wives through our bi-monthly blog, Let's Connect events that are popping up across the country, a bi-monthly podcast, prayer support, and of course, Let's Retreat!

The Bridal Party by S MukerjeeS Mukerji, whose name appears in various transliterations, including S Mukherjee, published his book of Indian Ghost Stories in 1917.  I can find no biographical information on him, or even what his first name was. I wondered if he were related to the Mukherjee family who pioneered Indian cinema in the early 20th Century. I have no evidence that he is! At the time of writing the first edition he lived in Calcutta (Kolkata) and his stories show his familiarity and residence in Bengal, but he later lived in Allahbad (Prayagraj) in Uttar Pradesh. The name Mukerji is a Kulin Brahmin name and common in West Bengal. He moved in high circles and his friends were judges and lawyers during the later British Raj. He alludes that his father had a coachman and he had a nurse growing up. I picked an Indian story because there are a lot of Indian listeners to the podcast. The ghost story form was very prevalent in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods and then metamophosized into the uncanny tale and later into a branch of speculative fiction.  Running in parallel with the fictional ghost story, we have "true accounts" which are the reportedly true accounts of visitors to actual places. Years ago, I ran the Haunted Britain and Ireland website which specialised in sending visitors to locations with supposedly true ghost hauntings. There is still great mileage in the true account genre and there are a good number of podcasts, TV shows and Youtube channels still seeking people's personal accounts of ghosts. With The Classic Ghost Stories Podcast I had deliberately kept to fictional stories up until now. I excuse myself because S Mukerjee writes his story in dramatic form rather than just as a witness report and he gives characters who have lines within the story.

We often think of South Africa or America when we hear the word ‘segregation.' Or — a popular view — that social groups have always chosen to live apart.But as Carl H. Nightingale shows in his new book, Segregation: A Global History of Divided Cities (University of Chicago Press, 2012), the racial phenomenon is both modern and international. To be sure, laws and informal practices separating individuals by membership in a caste can be found everywhere in the ancient and medieval world. Those with or seeking wealth and power have always sought to preserve or increase their position by disuniting people on the grounds of social category. Yet the idea of “race” and the enduring belief that human beings can be distinguished in such terms has its origins in the rise of European colonialism, starting with British rule in Madras (Chennai) and the East India Company's decision to split Calcutta (Kolkata) into “White Town” and “Black Town.” The word ‘segregation' itself comes from techniques used in Hong Kong and Bombay (Mumbai) in the 1890's, part of a viral “mania” that, Nightingale explains, pivoted around the challenges of mass urbanization and sent the institution north, south, east, and west — even to Latin American cities like Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, where the distinction between ‘white' and ‘black' was murky at best. This globalization depended heavily on imperialist governments, and often just as importantly relied on multinational corporations (real estate especially) and intellectual networks, which provided in the first case institutional precedent and protocol and in the second rationalization and legitimacy for the pseudo-scientific notion of ‘race.' Yet, as this ambitious work demonstrates, segregation appeared under every form of government, with and without the help of capitalism. The line betweende facto and de jure was often hard to tell or irrelevant. (One might note here, for example, that, contrary to popular belief, most businesses in the Old South were not forced by law to put up those ‘Whites Only' signs.) Indeed, there is more than a bit of paradox and irony in this tragic story. And while the late 1900's saw the rise of powerful movements opposed to segregation, the world's population is now majority-urban for the first time, and still lives with these awful legacies. Attempts to rollback segregation will have to grapple with this complex and global history. Thankfully, Nightingale has given us a very useful starting point. Learn more about your ad choices.
