After leaving the sisters of Loreto, Mother Teresa had Five rupees on her and for
the first time she went along the streets of Calcutta to help the poorest of the poor. She
had given away four rupees.
Seeing her help the poor, a priest came up to her and asked
for some contribution towards Catholic press. Mother Teresa hesitated since she
had only one rupee left, but she gave the priest what she had.
Later that day, the same priest came to see her with an
envelope. The priest told her that a man had given him the envelope because he
had heard about Mother Teresa's projects and wanted to help her.
There were fifty rupees in the envelope, this convinced
Mother Teresa that God had begun to bless her work and He would never abandon
her.
