TERESA MOTHER: (1910-1997) Albanian Roman Catholic Nun, Nobel Peace Prize winner, 1979. A.L.S., M Teresa MC, two pages, 8vo, Calcutta, 27th January 1980, to Rev. John Tudor and the Dome Mission and David Rutter and the readers of Outreach. Mother Teresa writes a letter of religious content, stating 'God has been so wonderful to have used you for all these years through Dome Mission and Outreach to proclaim the good news - that God loves the world and that He has sent you to be His love and compassion in the world of to day. Let the whole world know that we belong to Jesus - by our love for each other - and by our love for Jesus in the distressing disguise of the Poor - of the unwanted, unloved - uncared. Through this love for each other - we give the Peace of Christ - and we proclaim that God is love' and concluding 'To be able to love we need to pray for the Fruit of Prayer is Faith, the Fruit of Faith is Love, The Fruit of Love is Love in action - Service. Let us pray'. Holograph letters are of the utmost rarity and are extremely desirable. A small area of paper loss to the upper left corner, only very slightly affecting one word of text and not the signature, otherwise VG
