Gaurav Gatha-E-07-Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa

"We cannot see God. But we can feel Him through love and it is for this purpose that He created the poor, the sick and the lonely. Anyone serving the poor and the infirm is, in fact, serving God."
Mother Teresa is doing just that. She has for over three decades identified herself with the suffering humanity. She was born in Yugoslavia on August 27, 1910 and was christened Agnes. Even when she was at school, she had an intense desire to help the poor. In 1928 she joined the Loreto teaching order and came to India. For twenty years she taught at St Mary's High School in Calcutta. She left the convent in 1948 to work among the poor. She opened her first slum school with just five rupees, but gradually, as people learnt what she was doing, she was given money and equipment. In 1950 she founded her own order of nuns and named it the Missionaries of Charity. Gradually, the Missionaries of Charity organised hundreds of schools, clinics and homes for dying destitutes, lepers and abandoned children all over the world. Mother Teresa's work has been universally recognised. She has many awards to her credit including the Nehru Award and the Nobel Peace Prize. The Government of India has conferred on her Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award.
