(SLIDE 1) "No matter who says what, you should accept it with a smile and do your own work."

Mother Teresa, was a Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India in 1950. She was born on 26 August 1910, in Skopje.(SLIDE 2) For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.(SLIDE 3) Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

(SLIDE 4) She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work.(SLIDE 5) Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity continued to expand, and at the time of her death it was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counseling programs, orphanages, and schools.

(SLIDE 6) She has been praised by many individuals, governments and organizations; however, she has also faced a diverse range of criticism. Medical journals also criticized the standard of medical care in her hospices. In 2010 on the 100th anniversary of her birth, she was honored around the world, and her work praised by Indian President Pratibha Patil.

Early life (SLIDE 7)

She was the youngest of the children of a family from Shkodër, Albania. Her father, who was involved in Albanian politics, died in 1919 when she was eight years old. After her father's death, her mother raised her as a Roman Catholic.

According to a biography by Joan Graff Clucas, in her early years Agnes was fascinated by stories of the lives of missionaries and their service in Bengal, and by age 12 was convinced that she should commit herself to a religious life. Her final resolution was taken on August 15, 1928,(SLIDE 8) while praying at the shrine of the Black Madonna of Lednice, where she often went on pilgrimage.

She left home at age 18 to join the Sisters of Loreto as a missionary. She never saw her mother and sister again.

She arrived in India in 1929, and began her novitiate in Darjeeling, near the Himalayan mountains, where she learned Bengali and taught at the St. Teresa’s School, a schoolhouse close to her convent. She took her first religious vows as a nun on 24 May 1931. At that time she chose to be named after Thérèse de Lisieux, the patron saint of missionaries, but because one nun in the convent had already chosen that name, Agnesi opted for the Spanish spelling Teresa.

She took her solemn vows on May 14, 1937, while serving as a teacher at the Loreto convent school in Entlly, eastern Calcutta. Teresa served there for almost twenty years and in 1944 was appointed headmistress.

Although Teresa enjoyed teaching at the school, she was increasingly disturbed by the poverty surrounding her in Calcutta. The Bengal famine of 1943 brought misery and death to the city; and the outbreak of Hindu/Muslim violence in August 1946 plunged the city into despair and horror.

Missionaries of Charity(slide 9)

On 10 September 1946, Teresa experienced what she later described as "the call within the call" while traveling by train to the Loreto convent in Darjeeling from Calcutta.

She began her missionary work with the poor in 1948, replacing her traditional Loreto habit with a simple white cotton sari decorated with a blue border.(SLIDE 10) In the beginning of 1949 she was joined in her effort by a group of young women and laid the foundations to create a new religious community helping the "poorest among the poor".

Teresa received Vatican permission on 7 October 1950 to start the diocesan congregation. 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.

(SLIDE 11) In 1952 Mother Teresa opened the first Home for the Dying in space made available by the city of Calcutta. Mother Teresa soon opened a home for those suffering from Hansen's disease, commonly known as leprosy, and called the hospice City of Peace.

(SLIDE 12 )As the Missionaries of Charity took in increasing numbers of lost children, Mother Teresa felt the need to create a home for them. In 1955 Mother Teresa opened the Children's Home of the Immaculate Heart, as a haven for orphans and homeless youth.( SLIDE 13 ) The order soon began to attract both recruits and charitable donations, and by the 1960s had opened hospices, orphanages and leper houses all over India. Others followed in Rome, Tanzania, and Austria in 1968; during the 1970s the order opened houses and foundations in dozens of countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States.

The Missionaries of Charity Brothers was founded in 1963, and a contemplative branch of the Sisters followed in 1976.(SLIDE 14 )Lay Catholics and non-Catholics were enrolled in the Co-Workers of Mother Teresa, the Sick and Suffering Co-Workers, and the Lay Missionaries of Charity. In response to the requests of many priests, in 1981 Mother Teresa also began the Corpus Christi Movement for Priests, and in 1984 founded with Fr. Joseph Langford the Missionaries of Charity Fathers to combine the vocational aims of the Missionaries of Charity with the resources of the ministerial priesthood. By 2007 the Missionaries of Charity numbered approximately 450 brothers and 5,000 nuns’ worldwide, operating 600 missions, schools and shelters in 120 countries.

International charity

(SLIDE 15) In 1982, at the height of the Siege of Beirut, Mother Teresa rescued 37 children trapped in a front line hospital by brokering a temporary cease-fire between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas. Accompanied by Red Cross workers, she traveled through the war zone to the devastated hospital to evacuate the young patients.

(SLIDE 16) Mother Teresa traveled to assist and minister to the hungry in Ethiopia, radiation victims at Chernobyl, and earthquake victims in Armenia. In 1991, Mother Teresa returned for the first time to her homeland and opened a Missionaries of Charity Brothers home in Tirana, Albania.

By 1996, she was operating 517 missions in more than 100 countries. Over the years, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity grew from twelve to thousands serving the "poorest of the poor" in 450 centers around the world.(SLIDE 17)

(SLIDE 18 ) The spending of the charity money received and her protest against contraception and abortion has been criticized by Christopher Hitchens, Michael Parenti, Aroup Chatterjee, Vishva Hindu Parishad.

Colette Livermore, a former Missionary of Charity, describes her reasons for leaving the order in her book Hope Endures: Leaving Mother Teresa, Losing Faith, and Searching for Meaning. Livermore found what she called Mother Teresa's "theology of suffering" to be flawed, despite being a good and courageous person.(SLIDE 19 )Livermore says that the Missionaries of Charity "infantilized" its nuns by prohibiting the reading of secular books and newspapers, and emphasizing obedience over independent thinking and problem-solving.

Last days of life.

(SLIDE 20) Mother Teresa suffered a heart attack in Rome in 1983, while visiting Pope John Paul II. After a second attack in 1989, she received an artificial pacemaker. In 1991, after a battle with pneumonia while in Mexico, she suffered further heart problems. She offered to resign her position as head of the Missionaries of Charity. But the nuns of the order, in a secret ballot, voted for her to stay. Mother Teresa agreed to continue her work as head of the order.

In April 1996, Mother Teresa fell and broke her collar bone. In August she suffered from malaria and failure of the left heart ventricle. She had heart surgery but it was clear that her health was declining. She was treated at a California hospital, too, and this has led to some criticism.

On March 13, 1997, she stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity. She died on September 5, 1997.

(SLIDE 21) At the time of her death, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity had over 4,000 sisters, and an associated brotherhood of 300 members, operating 610 missions in 123 countries. These included hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counseling programs, personal helpers, orphanages, and schools. The Missionaries of Charity were also aided by Co-Workers, who numbered over 1 million by the 1990s.

Mother Teresa lay in state in St Thomas, Kolkata for one week prior to her funeral, in September 1997. She was granted a state funeral by the Indian Government in gratitude for her services to the poor of all religions in India.

Slide description:

They called her Mother Teresa. She really became a mother for many unwanted children - babies from garbage bins, little disabled people and orphans... A small, thin, smiling old lady. A penetrating gaze, a mobile face, rough, disproportionately large, worn-out peasant hands. In her presence, the interlocutors felt like a meaningful part of creation - she radiantly and intelligently looked into the face of the world, looked people in the eyes, apologizing for having to rush. She did not speak words about God every second, but she testified about Him with her life. She joyfully did what turned out to be beyond human interests: she said to a useless, unremarkable beggar, crippled, helpless: “You are not alone!”

Childhood and youth of Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu Mother Teresa (Agnesa Gonxha Bojaxhiu) was born on August 26, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She was the youngest of three children of Nicola Bojaxhiu, a wealthy building contractor and merchant. Agnes was pretty, obedient, attentive. She sang beautifully in the church choir, played the guitar, and helped her mother. She either wanted to be a writer, or a music teacher, or a missionary in Africa... The girl was talented, her poems were published in the local newspaper.

She began her ministry in India, a country known for its incredible poverty and poverty. On August 16, 1948, Mother Teresa, who had obtained permission from Rome to become a free missionary nun, changed into a cheap white sari with a blue border bought on the market and left her sister’s monastery. With five rupees in her pocket, she disappeared into the slums of Calcutta. As historians note, she did this at the call of Christ - to follow Him into the slums to serve Him through the poorest. And Sister Teresa followed this call without hesitation. According to her, man's greatest sin is not hatred, but indifference to his helpless brothers.

Slide description:

Mother Teresa, who always worked a lot and hard, wandering around the world, one day was nevertheless overtaken by a fatal illness. The heart stopped keeping up with its owner. She passed away on September 5, 1997, at the age of 87. One and a half million people came out to see her off on her last journey, among whom were prominent political and religious figures, as well as those to whom Mother Teresa dedicated her entire life - orphans, lepers and the homeless. This little, wrinkled sister from Calcutta, thanks to her complete devotion to Christ, became a treasure for people, because she radiated God's Love - the only salvation for the world. She brought back to life a truly Christian understanding of charity - creating good not with money, not with surpluses from wealth, but with the expenditure of one’s own soul... Sister Teresa stated: “You see, I never imagined that I could change the world! I just wanted to be a drop of pure water in which the love of God could be reflected. Isn't this enough?! " She made it clear to everyone that each of us, followers of Christ, has that small but necessary capital of love, which we must skillfully invest in a good cause - for the glory of our Lord. Her words ring true for us: “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow hasn't come yet. We only have today. So let's get started!” Live and Die for God's Glory
