The Succession

In 1992 by the election of the New Superior general, she is prepared to hand over the responsibility. But she is re-elected. When in 1996 her health started to fail seriously, due to her heart getting worn out by love and action she expresses the wish not to continue. On March 13, 1997 the assembly of sisters elected Sister Nirmala to continue the beautiful work, for the love of  Jesus and as the leader of the Missionaries of Charity.

On  September 5, 1997, Mother Teresa went to Heaven in the Mother house in Calcutta. Totally finished and worn out, as she had given herself totally, wholeheartedly, freely and unconditionally to the service of the poorest of the poor, for the love of Jesus.
