MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA
This week, we will learn about a Roman Catholic nun dedicated to helping the poor--Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
Mother Teresa was born on August 26, 1910, as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, in Skopje, the current capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Her parents, Nikola and Dranafile Bojaxhiu, were of Albanian descent and a devoutly Catholic family. After her father’s death, Agnes grew up with her mother where she learnt about compassionate and deep commitment to charity. At age 12, she felt a calling to religious life after a pilgrimage trip to the Church of the Black Madonna in Letnice. Agnes later joined the Sisters of Loreto in Dublin at age 18 and took the name Sister Mary Teresa after Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
On September 10, 1946, while riding a train from Calcutta to the Himalayas, Sister Mary Teresa, now known as Mother Teresa, experienced a second calling--the "call within a call": to aid the unwanted, the unloved, and the uncared for. Through many obstacles, she founded the Missionaries of Charity. As her charitable activities got popular, donations and volunteering support came and helped Mother Teresa to establish a leper colony, an orphanage, a nursing home, a family clinic, a string of mobile health clinics and Gift of Love, a home to care for those infected with HIV/AIDS. After several years of deteriorating health, Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, at the age of 87. She was beatified in October 2003. By the time of her death in 1997, the Missionaries of Charity numbered more than 4,000 (in addition to thousands more lay volunteers) with 610 foundations in 123 countries on all seven continents.
