Missionary Spirit

At the same time as Mother Theresa was trying to dialogue with the hierarchical Church and experiencing her “Dark Night,” the congregation was being invited to various other countries. Before she was put under “interdict” she often accompanied sisters to new missions, including New York City in 1847. This missionary spirit is narrated by Sister Mary Ann Kuttner, SSND.
