Yesterday(26th August) was The great woman Mother Teresa's birth day.
"By blood I am Albanian. By citizenship I am Indian. By faith I am a catholic nun."
Even though she was small built, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, was entrusted with the proclaiming God's love of humanity, especially the poor people. She was a soul filled with love for Christ. Her original name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She lost her father at her early age, but brought up by her mother with love and care. She left her home at the age of eighteen to join the nunnery. She received education and was sent to India to teach. Her name was changed as Teresa and she was decided to help the poor in India. Mother Teresa and her helpers built homes for orphans, nursing homes for lepers, and hospitals for the terminally ill people. Her missionary was spread all over the world and help poured from the people all over the world.
She was awarded Padmashri Award by the Indian Government in 1962 and was awarded Nobel peace prize in 1979.
During the last years of her life, despite her poor health Mother Teresa continued to govern her missionaries which includes 4000 sisters spread over 123 countries with 610 foundations and respond to the needs of the poor and the church.
On September 5 1997, her earthly life came to an end. By late 2003 she was beatified, third step towards sainthood.
I hope I could follow at least 5% of her love to the poor, service to the poor.
