The Missionaries of Charity for men is the only institution in the city and the institute for women is in Ujjain.
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa), nun: born Skopje, Macedonia August 26, 1910.
She was the third child in her family and raised by a single parent after her father passed away when she was eight years old. Her mother then raised her as a Roman Catholic. At the age of 12 she knew she wanted to dedicate her life to a religious vocation. She left home to join the convent at age 18 and never saw her mother or sister again.
Mother Teresa dedicated her life to a service of charity, helping the poor, the sick, the dying and those that were starving for love. Teresa wrote in her diary that her first year was fraught with difficulties. She had no income and had to resort to begging for food and supplies. Teresa experienced doubt and loneliness.
Teresa received Vatican permission on October 7, 1950 to start the diocesan congregation that would become the Missionaries of Charity. Its mission was to care for, in her own words, "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone."
In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize. You can go on the Nobel Prize website and hear her speech, she recites the St. Francis of Assisi, Make Me a Channel of Your Peace. Former U.N. Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar said: "She is the United Nations. She is peace in the world."On March 13, 1997, she stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity. She died on September 5th 1997. She was granted a state funeral by the Indian Government in gratitude for her services to the poor of all religions in India.some words from mother teresa.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
Mother Teresa
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Mother Teresa
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
