“Baptisms of the dying souls” – By Rohini Verma

In regard to the recent controversy about the work of Mother Teresa, there are certain points that are hidden from the general public. One of the truths is – “Baptisms of the dying people”.
Mother Teresa directed members of her order to baptize dying patients, irrespective of the fact that person belonged to which religion. In a speech at the Scripps Clinic in California in January 1992, she said: "... not one has died without receiving the special ticket for St. Peter. We call baptism ticket for St. Peter.”

Dying people were asked whether they wanted a blessing by which their sins would be forgiven and they would meet God. The dying people never refused. Thousands of people have died in Kalighat since 1952. So the number of people converted can be well imagined.
The patients were not given essential information which could help them in making an informed decision about conversion. So what was this? Service or “Baptisms of the dying souls.”
