An out of the ordinary crowd in Calcutta, streets flooded with young and old, rich and poor, all of them united in their anguish. The Saint of Calcutta
In the remote town of Skopjie , Yugoslavia
She was just twelve when she said “I want to be a nun”.
Time passed and young Agnes in January 1929 set sail and reached Calcutta
It was then when in journey by train out of the blue god spoke to her, “Give up everything and follow me to the slums.” It was then when Sister Teresa decided to follow God’s will to serve the poorest of the poor.
In order to bring some soothe and cheer in the miserable lives of the people living in slums Sister Teresa worked with complete dedication and soon she was joined by 10 other nuns. Stepping forward along with destitute children she also worked for impoverished women and leprosy patients.
In April 1953 Sister Teresa founded “Missionary of Charity” and was now called Mother Teresa.
Mother Teresa was a home for dying destitutes and hope for the marginalized.
On October 16, 1979 Mother Teresa received Noble Prize and in 1980 she received Bharat Ratna. She was indeed a world wide figure rather Mother of the world.
She was an angel of mercy, a saint who brought ray of hope in the lives of poorest of the poor and the marginalized.
It is said what she did in her lifetime was no less than a miracle. She was an effigy of love and compassion. She had a heart to feel the pain of others. She will be always loved and remembered. God with his mystic brush painted a beautiful persona to enrich the lives of all who met her, who know her, who saw her and those who were served by her. Mother you will be always remembered…
