Soul: A life of compassion
Simple and peaceful, Mother Teresa House offers a look at the eponymous saint’s life until her death in 1997. See the spartan room that the prominent Catholic nun lived in for decades, and visit her grave. Then witness the sisters of the Missionaries of Charity continue her work as they chant in the chapel, counsel visitors and write prayers. They exude Mother Teresa’s signature compassion. It’s a humbling, spiritual experience. motherteresa.org
