(UH19) MOTHER TERESA (SOON WITH GOD)
Artist – Chandan Pramanik, India
Water Color
This vibrant water color by Chandan Pramanik depicts Mother Teresa at prayer. Each day began in communal prayer with the fellow members of her congregation, volunteers and guests before a tabernacle in her convent. She is seen here praying the Rosary, a prayer aid familiar to Catholics which helps the faithful to contemplate the life of Jesus through repetition of common prayers. Those who knew Mother Teresa well stated that she was constantly at prayer and prayed the Rosary at all times, even when in conversation.
Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), a Roman Catholic religious sister who lived most of her life in India was born in what is today Macedonia, with her family being of Albanian descent originating in Kosovo.
She founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which consists of more than 4,500 sisters actively operating in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; dispensaries and mobile clinics; children's and family counseling programs; orphanages; and schools. Members must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience as well as a fourth vow, to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor".
She is recipient of numerous honors including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize and in 2003, beatified as "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta".
Ramesh Malhotra met Mother Teresa by chance on the tarmac of the New Delhi airport. He was arriving to visit his homeland. She was leaving on one of the rare occasions when she was called to speak about her work in another country. He was so impressed by the brief meeting that he chose her as subject of the first exhibit collection in the Museum.
