Saint Teresa of Calcutta: The Saint of the Slums

I am deeply emotional when it comes to talk for a great woman like Mother Teresa. Not only because she is Albanian like me, but because I’ve experienced myself the tremendous influence and love Catholics around the world had for her figure. In one of my visits in Malawi in Africa, I participated in a gathering of clients of a microfinance bank there. As I was a guest the speaker introduced me as…

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT TERESA OF CALCUTTA (Mother Teresa) Feast Day: September 5

"She is the United Nations. She is peace in the world." -Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, former Secretary-General of the United Nations

The foundress of the Missionaries of Charity (Congregatio Missionariarum a Caritate), was born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, on August 26, 1910 in Üsküp, Kosovo Vilayet, Ottoman Empire (now Skopje, North Macedonia). Raised in a Christian family, she was fascinated by the lives of the saints, especially of the missionaries. She was the youngest child of Nikollë and Dranafile Bojaxhiu (Bernai). Her father, who was involved in Albanian-community politics in Ottoman Macedonia, died in 1919 when she was eight years old. Her mother may have been from a village near Gjakova.

In 1928 at the age of 18, she joined the missionary congregation of the Sisters of Loreto at Loreto Abbey in Rathfarnham, Ireland, to learn English with the intent of becoming a missionary; English was the language of instruction of the Sisters of Loreto in India, and was assigned to India. She made her profession on May 24, 1931, taking the religious name of Teresa, in honor of Thérèse de Lisieux, the patroness of missions, because a nun in the convent had already chosen that name, she opted for its Spanish spelling of Teresa. Teresa took her solemn vows on May 14, 1937 while she was a teacher at the Loreto convent school in Entally, eastern Calcutta, taking the style of 'Mother' as part of Loreto custom. She served there for nearly twenty years and was appointed its headmistress in 1944.

After teaching for over 20 years in a Catholic school near Calcutta, she became increasingly disturbed by the surrounding poverty. The Bengal famine of 1943 brought misery and death to the city, and the August 1946 Direct Action Day began a period of Muslim-Hindu violence.

On September 10, 1946, while travelling by train to the Loreto convent from Calcutta for her annual retreat, she experienced 'the call within the call,' meaning a strong urge to leave the convent and to live among the poorest of the poor. Replacing her traditional religious habit with a white cotton sari decorated with a blue border, she began her missionary work in the slums of Calcutta. Two years later in 1948, she began missionary work with the poor. Mother Teresa adopted Indian citizenship, spent several months in Patna to receive basic medical training at Holy Family Hospital and ventured into the slums. She founded a school in Motijhil, Calcutta, before she began tending to the poor and hungry. At the beginning of 1949, Mother Teresa was joined in her effort by a group of young women, and she laid the foundation for a new religious community helping the 'poorest among the poor'.

On October 7, 1950 after she received Vatican permission for the diocesan congregation, together with thirteen young women, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, whose mission was: 'to care for the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared, for throughout society.' In 1952, Mother Teresa opened her first hospice with help from Calcutta officials. She converted an abandoned Hindu temple into the Kalighat Home for the Dying, free for the poor, and renamed it Kalighat, the Home of the Pure Heart (Nirmal Hriday).

Those brought to the home received medical attention and the opportunity to die with dignity in accordance with their faith: Muslims were read the Quran, Hindus received water from the Ganges, and Catholics received extreme unction. At the height of the Siege of Beirut in 1982, 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 travelled through the war zone to the hospital to evacuate the young patients.

Mother Teresa had a heart attack in Rome in 1983 while she was visiting Pope John Paul II. Following a second heart attack in 1989, she received a pacemaker. In 1991, after a bout of pneumonia in Mexico, she had additional heart problems. Although Mother Teresa offered to resign as head of the Missionaries of Charity, in a secret ballot the sisters of the congregation voted for her to stay, and she agreed to continue. But on March 13, 1997, she resigned as head of the Missionaries of Charity.

Respected as a 'living saint,' she died in Calcutta, West Bengal, India at the age of 87. At the time of her death, the 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 counselling programmes, orphanages and schools. The Missionaries of Charity were aided by co-workers numbering over one million by the 1990s.

She is beatified by St. John Paul II on October 19, 2003 and canonized a saint by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016.

She said for herself: 'By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.'

‘সিস্টার অ্যাগনেস’ থেকে ‘ মাদার টেরেসা ‘

বিশ্ব শুধু রুটির জন্য ক্ষুধিত নয়, প্রেমের জন্যও বটে৷ — মাদার তেরেসা I এই ধারণাটি মাথায় রেখে, তিনি কোনও বৈষম্য ছাড়াই যত্ন এবং ভালবাসার সাথে অনেক মানুষকে সেবা করেছিলেন। তিনি সবাইকে শিখিয়েছেন এবং সারা বিশ্বে এই উদারতা ছড়িয়ে দিতে চেয়েছিলেন। তিনি যে দয়ালু মহিলা ছিলেন, আমরা মনে করি না আমরা যুগে যুগে তার মতো কাউকে দেখতে পাব।

মাদার টেরেসা (1910–1997) যাকে আমরা সিস্টার টেরেসা নাম ও চিনি ছিলেন একজন কাথলিক নন এবং ধর্মীয় প্রচারিক, যার মুক্তিবাদী উদ্দেশ্যে গরিব ও অসুখী লোকদের সাহায্য করার প্রতি তার বিশেষ ভাবনা ছিল। ১৯৫০ সালে তিনি ‘মিশনারিজ অফ চেরিটি’ নামক একটি ধর্মীয় সংস্থা প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন, যেখানে ক্যালকাটা এবং বিশ্বের অন্যান্য অংশগুলিতে দরিদ্র এবং মৃতপ্রায় লোকদের যত্ন নেওয়ার কেন্দ্র স্থাপন করা হয়। ১৯৭৯ সালে তার মানবতাবাদী চেষ্টায় তাকে নোবেল শান্তি পুরস্কার দেওয়া হয়। মাদার টেরেসা জীবনী

কিন্তু কিভাবে তিনি Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu থেকে ‘মাদার টারেসা’ হয়ে উঠলেন ?

Madre Teresa de Caucutá

Madre Teresa de Calcutá, cujo nome de batismo era Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, foi uma missionária católica e humanitária albanesa, conhecida por sua dedicação aos mais pobres e necessitados. Ela nasceu em Skopje, na Macedônia, em 26 de agosto de 1910 e morreu em Calcutá, na Índia, em 5 de setembro de 1997.

Madre Teresa é considerada uma das pessoas mais importantes e queridas do século XX, e sua dedicação à caridade e à assistência aos mais pobres e necessitados é admirada em todo o mundo. Ela dedicou a maior parte de sua vida à criação de instituições de caridade e à assistência aos mais necessitados, como os doentes, os moribundos, os órfãos e os sem-teto.

Em 1950, Madre Teresa fundou a Congregação das Missionárias da Caridade, uma ordem religiosa católica dedicada à assistência aos mais pobres e necessitados. A Congregação rapidamente se expandiu para outros países e hoje conta com mais de 4.500 irmãs em mais de 130 países.

Madre Teresa também foi uma defensora dos direitos humanos e dos direitos das crianças. Ela foi uma defensora dos direitos dos pobres, dos doentes, dos moribundos e dos sem-teto, e trabalhou incansavelmente para melhorar as condições de vida dessas pessoas. Ela também foi uma defensora dos direitos das crianças e trabalhou para melhorar as condições de vida das crianças pobres e necessitadas.

Em 1979, Madre Teresa foi agraciada com o Prêmio Nobel da Paz por sua dedicação à caridade e à assistência aos mais pobres e necessitados. Ela usou o prêmio para fundar a Fundação Madre Teresa, que ajuda a financiar suas obras de caridade em todo o mundo.

Além de seu trabalho caritativo, Madre Teresa também foi uma figura importante na política e na religião. Ela se envolveu em questões políticas controversas, como o conflito entre paquistão e Índia, e foi uma defensora dos direitos humanos e dos direitos das crianças. Ela também foi uma líder religiosa respeitada, e sua fé católica foi uma inspiração para muitas pessoas em todo o mundo.

Madre Teresa faleceu em 5 de setembro de 1997, mas sua obra e sua influência continuam vivas até hoje. Sua dedicação à caridade e à assistência aos mais pobres e necessitados é admirada em todo o mundo e suas instituições de caridade ainda estão em funcionamento em todo o mundo. Ela é conhecida como "Santa das ruas" e sua memória é lembrada como uma das maiores humanitárias da história. Sua canonização como santa foi reconhecida pela Igreja Católica em 2016.

Madre Teresa de Calcutá é um exemplo inspirador de dedicação e caridade. Ela passou a vida trabalhando incansavelmente para melhorar as condições de vida dos mais pobres e necessitados, e seu legado continua a inspirar pessoas em todo o mundo. Seu trabalho e sua dedicação aos mais pobres e necessitados são uma lição para todos nós sobre a importância da caridade e da assistência aos menos afortunados.

“I guarantee that you will encounter difficult times in your relationship with Yah, blessed be His Name.  The trust of some will waver in the midst of tests.  Do not be one of those who waver because life becomes difficult or because the elder or congregation disappoints or betrays you.  Do not give up the greatest and hardest relationship because you lose someone dear to you.  Do not lose trust because you have unanswered questions or because you may not understand.  Do not lose heart because you feel alone.  Do not give up the good fight because you want to die, persecution endangers and harms your life, or for any other reason.  Shun the rocky soil.  Instead grow deep roots into the Lord through relationship with Him that is nurtured in daily prayer, meditation, fasting, fellowship, service, purpose...and focus and endurance.

My children, continue the struggle to draw near to the Lord even if you do not hear His voice.  Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, more widely known as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, did not hear from God for sixty years, yet she maintained faithfulness, enduring trust, in Him.  Questions and doubts may arise - endure anyway.  Challenges in your life and in your walk with God will come - persist anyway.  

If you stand firm, persecution will come, but please never give up, never quit... do not allow bitterness to corrupt your heart.  Seek Him for comfort, for purpose, and for answers.  Even if you do not receive a response, sustain in your walk with the Lord.  No matter how difficult the Way, the struggle, the fight, the race, may be...persevere.  Trust Him.  Trust Him for salvation and Life.  Know that persecution and pain will come if you stand with His Anointed One (Revelation 2:9-10), but He will be there to help you every step of the way (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).  He will be with you even if the test means the death of your body.”

mother teresa’s life

The person I admire most is Mother Teresa. Her full name was Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu ( Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu ), commonly known as Mother Teresa and honoured in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. She was born in Skopje, then part of the Kosovo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. She died at the age of eighty seven, on the fifth of September on 1997, because of heart failure ( and old age ). She was a Roman Catholic nun who devoted her life to serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent many years in Calcutta, India where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation devoted to helping those in great need. She was also awarded a lot of awards like the Nobel Peace Prize at 1979, the Balzan Prize for Humanity, Peace and Fraternity Among Peoples at 1978, the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Peace and International Understanding at 1962, etc. She had a lot of quotes that were really inspiring, like “Peace begins with a smile.” “There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.” “ Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.“ and more.

Although contemporarily I am widely known as Mother Teresa, I was born in 1910 as Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu of the Ottoman Empire. While my official date of birth was the 6th of August, I consider the first real day of my life, and my true birthday, to be August 7th, as this is the day I was baptized, and this was the first day of a long life of devotion to Christ.
