The Divine Mercy

Mr. Chatterjee is well known in the city of Kolkata. He is respected by everyone because he is not only rich, he is also very charitable. He is always ready to help the poor and the needy.
So when his darling grandson Muntu fell ill, everyone felt concerned. He was taken to the best hospital of the city and a team of the best doctors looked after him. He had to be operated for the surgery of the brain. The operation was successful. The doctors prescribed some medicines. They were not found anywhere. The patient’s conditions were going from bad to worse. Some other medicines were tried with only negative results.
Suddenly Mr. Chatterjee had an inspiration. Against the advice of the doctors, he took Muntu on his lap and moved to his car. He asked the driver to go at once to Nirmal Institute where Mother Teresa’s Ashram was located.
Mother looked into the child’s eyes with her usual kindness and affection. Lo! the child was also looking at her. Within minutes, he smiled and with him smiled everyone who was there.
