accomplishments of Mother Teresa
Agnes ganja bully at you was born August
26 1910 in what is now Skopje Macedonia
by the time she was 12 she felt the call
of God and was fascinated with
missionary work she then decided to
devote herself to a spiritual life at 18
she travelled to Ireland to join a
religious group called the sisters of
Loretto she was quickly sent to India
where she took her first vows as a nun
on May 24 1931 she then selected the
name Teresa after the patron saint of
missionaries sister Teresa began
teaching at her orders all-girls school
in Calcutta during this time she made
her final profession of vows in 1937 and
earned the name Mother Teresa after
almost 20 years with the school mother
Teresa left her position as headmaster
to work in the slums with the city’s
poorest residents right from the very
beginning I wanted to self-deport purely
for the love of God
she then learned basic medicine and
started an outdoor school it wasn’t long
before help arrived in the form of
volunteers and financial support on
October 7th 1950 the Vatican gave mother
Teresa permission to begin her own order
the missionaries of charity the group
tended to those who had no one to care
for them including the disabled the
blind and the elderly as well as those
who were rejected by society it was two
years later she established Calcutta’s
first hospice for the terminally ill in
a converted Hindu temple there she gave
the city’s poorest people the chance and
a more dignified death no matter what
their religious affiliation she founded
her first leper colony in India soon
after through her work Mother Teresa
also came into contact with many
abandoned kids so in 1955 she opened the
children’s home of the Immaculate Heart
to care for parentless or otherwise
forsaken children by the early 1960s
mother Teresa and her
order expanded their reach throughout
India due to increased donations and
volunteers the missionaries of charity
brothers was founded in 1963 to help
address the needs of the poor after 15
years Mother Teresa’s order became an
international religious family by decree
of Pope Paul the sixth in 1965 this
allowed their work to expand outside of
India’s borders to provide relief to
those in need following natural
disasters and more some of the region’s
that benefited most from their care
included Asia Africa and Latin America
Alvear in 105 countries and we have 500
convinced or rendezvous without counting
India their first house in the United
States opened in New York South Bronx in
1971 by 1979 mother Teresa had earned
worldwide acclaim for her tireless work
and that year she was awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize however her efforts
continued during 1982 siege of Beirut
mother Teresa negotiated a break in
hostilities between the warring groups
in order to save 37 children who were
trapped in a hospital at the forefront
of the battle she expanded her
international efforts throughout the
decade following the Chernobyl disaster
she tended to radiation victims and in
1985 she founded a hospice in New York
to care for AIDS sufferers by 1997
Mother Teresa’s missionaries of charity
operated over 600 missions in 123
countries unfortunately on September 5th
of that year she died after years of
worsening health following her passing
the Indian government held a state
funeral for mother Teresa and she was
buried at the mother house of the
missionaries of charity as people
flocked to her tomb it became a place of
pilgrimage for people of all religions
soon after her death the Holy See began
the process that would see mother Teresa
recognized as a saint she was beatified
on October 19 2003 and awaits
canonization despite her best efforts
mother Teresa was criticized for using
donations she received to expand to new
areas instead of improving conditions in
centers I would say it was a certainty
that millions of people died because of
her work and millions more were made
poorer stupider more sick more disease
more fearful and more ignorant some also
condemned her supposed aggressive
catholicism has promised our lady who
loves Ireland so much that we will never
allow in this country a single abortion
and know from her selfies the Blessed
Mother Teresa was a rare and unique
woman who lived to serve a higher
purpose she continues to inspire
countless individuals long after her
passing and serves as a beacon that
represents the best of humanity front of
bread his degree of fate and the fruit
of faith is love and the fruit of love
service and the fruit of service is
peace
