Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa is among the most well-known and highly respected women in the world in the latter half of the twentieth century.
In 1948 she founded a religious order of nuns in Calcutta, India, called the Missionaries of Charity. Through this order, she has dedicated her life to helping the poor, the sick, and the dying around the world, particularly those in India. Her selfless work with the needy has brought her much acclaim and many awards, including the Nobel Prize in 1979.
She was born in 1910 in Albania. Her father was co-owner of a construction firm and her family lived comfortably while she was growing up. In 1928 she suddenly decided to become a nun and traveled to Dublin, Ireland, to join the Sisters of Loreto, a religious order founded in the seventeenth century. After studying at the convent for less than a year, she left to join the Loreto convent in the city of Darjeeling in northeast India.
In 1929 Mother Teresa had been assigned to teach geography at St. Mary’s High School for Girls in Calcutta, south of Darjeeling. At the time, the streets of Calcutta were crowded with beggars, lepers, and the homeless. Unwanted infants were regularly left to die on the streets or in garbage bins.
On a train back to Darjeeling in 1946, Mother Teresa felt the need to abandon her position at St. Mary’s to care for the needy in the slums of Calcutta. After receiving the consent of her archbishop, she began to work. (World of English, adapted)
