The only Sister to have survived a terrorist attack on a Missionaries of Charity-run care home in Yemen in March has given her testimony to pilgrims in Rome.
Sister Mary Sally said all the Sisters at the care home had chosen to stay with their patients despite the violence that had engulfed the country.
“In the midst of this dangerous situation, our dearest Sister Prema, the general superior, called us from Calcutta and spoke to us individually. She gave us a choice to remain or leave the place,” she said on Saturday. “All of us had one answer: ‘We choose to stay, to live or die with our poor.’”
