St. Mother Teresa lived as an example of how much good work one
individual could do. She was born in 1910 in Albania under the birth
name Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She became a nun at age 18 and took the name
Teresa out of respect for St. Therese of Lisieux. When she was 36 years
old, Teresa received a Divine calling to "serve God amongst the poorest
of poor." Within two years, she began a ministry for the impoverished
people of Calcutta, India.
She and her sister nuns cared for the starving and dying citizens. Today, more than 500 missions and centers worldwide carry on the legacy of her words: "Faith in action is love, and love in action is service. By transforming that faith into living acts of love, we put ourselves in contact with God Himself, with Jesus our Lord."
