Mother Teresa

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born in Skopje, in Yugoslavia, in 1910. Her family were all Albanians, but she said, “The people of the world are my people”. She first went to Ireland as a young nun when she was 18 and learned English. After that she went to India, first to Bengal and to Calcutta. She called herself “TERESA” after Saint Therese.

She lived in a convent and taught Indian girls. One day on a train to Dajeeling, a voice inside her said, “You must leave the convent and help the poorest people in India. She bought a cheap sari (an Indian robe) from a market. Her Archbishop blessed it and then she started her work in Calcutta. Soon many others joined her. They called themselves Missionaries of Charity. Like Mother Teresa, they wore Indian saris. All her life she was helping everyone who was ill, dirty, poor, or dying. She loved them all. In 1979 she won the Nobel Peace Prize. She said, “To feel no one wants you, to feel no one loves you… that’s the worst sickness in life.”
