MOTHER TERESA WITH THE CHILDREN IN CALCUTTA SHISHUBHAVAN, 1980’s.
The whole of Mother Teresa’s life and labor bore witness to the joy of loving, the greatness and dignity of every human person, the value of little things done faithfully and with love, and the surpassing worth of friendship with God.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta (Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu) was born of Albanian parents in Skopje in 1910. Journeying as a missionary to India, she labored many years as a teacher before hearing the “call within the call,” “to give up all and follow Him into the slums—to serve Him in the poorest of the poor,” and so satiate the thirst of Jesus for love and the salvation of souls by founding the Missionaries of Charity. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 19 October 2003, and was canonized by Pope Francis on 4 September 2016.
Her legacy lives on today, across the globe, through the tireless work of the Missionaries of Charity.

Works of love are works of peace.

Never think that a small action done to your neighbor is not worth much … it is not how much we do that is pleasing to God, but how much love we put into the doing. That is what God looks for.

If I ever become a Saint—I will surely be one of “darkness.” I will continually be absent from Heaven—to light the light of those in darkness on earth.
