The part in bold. It doesn't say they are going to baptize the person. It says they are going to give them a blessing. I know there is more than one kind of blessing. Why do you suppose they didn't ask: Do you wish to be baptized into the Church of Christ so your sins will be forgiven and you will receive God?

Maybe as the thousands of people watched what happened when the sisters "blessed" them and saw it was a baptism, they still never refused. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | I'm just wondering if the people knew they were being baptized, and knew what that meant. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

I reckon that these people in Mother Teresa's care understood more about the unconditional love of our Heavenly Father after 9 days than 9 months of lectures or classes could ever teach. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
