Published: 2004-11-22

DENVER (CNS) -- With the humility and simplicity of her predecessor, Blessed Mother Teresa, Sister Nirmala Joshi brought a message of love and tenderness to Denver Nov. 8. The superior general of the Missionaries of Charity was in the Denver Archdiocese for her first visit to the sisters of her order who operate Seton House, a home for AIDS sufferers. Following an early evening Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception celebrated by Denver Auxiliary Bishop Jose H. Gomez and concelebrated by several priests, Sister Nirmala delivered a brief message to the several hundred people who attended the liturgy. "Today I bring you the message that Mother brought the world, that God is love," Sister Nirmala said. "He loves us with the most tender, personal and unconditional love," she said. "It doesn't matter how poor, how insignificant, how sinful we may be."
