Unknown woman at Taj Mahal, India
Malcom Muggeridge, an agnostic British journalist met and filmed Mother Teresa doing her work catering to the poorest of the poor in India.
He wrote a book “Something Beautiful for God.”
“This Home for the Dying is dimly lit by small windows high up in the walls, and Ken was adamant that filming was quite impossible there. We had only one small light with us, and to get the place adequately lighted in the time at our disposal was quite impossible. It was decided that, nonetheless, Ken should have a go, but by way of insurance we took, as well, some film in an outside courtyard where some of the inmates were sitting in the sun. In the processed film, the part taken inside was bathed in a particularly beautiful soft light, whereas the part taken outside was rather dim and confused…Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying is overflowing with love, as one senses immediately on entering it. This love is luminous, like the halos artists have seen and made visible round the heads of the saints. I find it not at all surprising that the luminosity should register on a photographic film ”
Influenced by his experience with Mother Teresa, he received the Catholic faith at the age of 79 together with his wife.
Photographs and Memories 
A truly lovely experience and account, Perpetua. ❤
That is a lovely story indeed. 🙂
Perhaps I am one of the few that remember Malcolm Muggeridge. He often appeared on the english TV BBC and was also a member of the British MI6 during the war. For a 70 year old golden oldie, he is now just a name from the past, that strikes a chord in my memory. Perhaps someone to look into more intensively and read up on.
Goodreads gave him a good review about his book and we became familiar of him due to his conversion, the rest is history.
Beautiful.
Beautiful story.
