Mother Teresa II (Stern)

Return link java script

Medium: Watercolor

Artist: Bijendra Pratap

The second of two portraits of Mother Teresa by Bijendra shows her in a different light then many of the other depictions. She is serious and almost sad in this rendering. Many do not consider the burden that this tiny woman bore. She always felt as if she was not doing enough for Jesus. She shared with her fellow nuns of the Missionaries of Charity that, though she had often felt close to God and in HIs presence in the earlier years of her ministry, as time passed, God felt more and more distant from her. Still she carried on doing all that she could for the sake of those she served.
