Fr. Bob Fabing, S.J., the Director of our Thirty Six Day Program in the Spiritual Exercises, recently returned from Calcutta, India where he gave retreats to Mother Teresa's Sisters and worked in Mother Teresa's Home for the Dying. One of the highlights of his experience was the first singing of the new Mass he wrote for Mother Teresa. He was the celebrant of the Eucharist where some 500 pilgrims, Professed Sisters, and Novices gathered around Mother Teresa's grave at the Motherhouse in Calcutta.
Fr. Bob said, "For a composer, this was wonderful. To have your music sung for the first time around the grave of the one you wrote it for ... that was very special. The Mass for Mother Teresa appears on his new CD, "Let Me Follow.”
