Dropped in to...

...the superb new exhibition about Mother Teresa of Calcutta at St Patrick's, Soho Square. It is rather awkward to find - you have to walk right round to the back of the church, and negotiate some massive roadworks and hoardings and wriggle your way in via a rear entrance - but it is WELL WELL WORTH IT!  It includes Mother Teresa's sari - much-darned and worn - and other personal items including that thin grey cardigan that she wore in colder climes, plus lots of pix of her earlier life ( eg wearing Albanian national costume at a parish social in the early 1920s) and a fascinating film which features a lengthy interview with her, and footage of her funeral which was one of the biggest events in Indian history.  Fr Alexander, parish priest at St Patrick's, knew M. Teresa and this excellent exhibition really captures  her life and message...it brought back memories of meeting her in Bonn in 1989, when she talked to Jamie and me about our plans for a big Family Congress in Britain the following year. She gave me a Miraculous Medal...
