Sister Nirmali Joshi, who succeeded Mother Teresa of Calcutta as the leader of the Missionaries of Charity, died on June 22 at the age of 81.

Sister Nirmala was born in Ranchi, India to Hindu parents. Educated by Catholic missionaries, she met Mother Teresa and was inspired to join her. She established the contemplative branch of the order, and was elected in 1997 to become the superior of the Missionaries of Charity.

On June 19, Sister Nirmala suffered a kidney failure, brought on by heart disease. Opting against dialysis, she returned home to spend her last hours with her community in Calcutta.

May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

I can only hope that she didn't hold to the same indifferentism her predecessor did before death.

What do you mean?

The secular public and their indifferent ilk loved Mother Teresa for her service. The only reason why she wasn't essentially canonized the August day she died was because Princess Diana had died hours before.

She was very big on helping people stay in their own religions instead of converting.

Pope Benedict XVI recognized this challenge and he addressed this issue with a moto proprio, On the Service of Charity;
