OUR LIFE M onthly, p u b lis h e d by U krainian N a tional W om en’s League o f Am erica In September, 1997, we heard the tragic news of the death of Mother Teresa, the saintly woman who had devoted her life to serving God by serving the poorest of the poor. In the squalor of the slums of Calcuta, Mo ther Teresa ministered to those most in need of assis tance — the sick, the hopeless, the maimed, the orpha ned, the abandoned and the dying. She did not do her good works in silence, believing always that the cause she had espoused must be a public cause. Hers was a sometimes loud and strident voice that appealed to the mighty, the powerful and the more fortunate of the world; she was the conscience of Popes, Presi dents, Kings, and commoners, reminding all of us that all life is sacred. Since this remarkable woman’s death, there have been many who have clamored for her canonization. Whether this comes to pass or not is moot. What truly matters, is that the world was privileged to see a truly holy and truly devoted woman who made a choice in her own life that made a difference in the quality of life for so many others. With the rest of the world, we mourn the passing of Princess Diana. Like millions of others, we remember the shy bride of nineteen, beautiful and hopeful and romantic. We also remember the fun- loving and irrepressible young wife who played and danced and represented her country at formal functions in distant lands, charming millions with her smile and her warmth and her grace. We remember the loving and caring young mother, sometimes ferociously protective of her two young sons. We remember the devoted daughter, mourning the loss of a beloved father. We remember, with sympathy, a young woman struggling with insecurity and with personal disappointments and with bulimia. But we will best remember the triumph of an extraordinarily strong and resilient woman who rose above her personal sorrows and fears to become an energetic champion of peace and a compassionate human being who worked to ease the distress and pain of others. In this, she leaves her greatest legacy, one that is an inspiration to every woman who must face the problems and confusion of contemporary life. ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИСТОПАД 1997 13 IN MEMORIAM NOVEMBER 1997 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO
