Mother Teresa of Calcutta(1910-1997)
ÂBy 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. ÂSmall of stature, rocklike in faith, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was entrusted with the mission of proclaiming GodÂs thirsting love for humanity, especially for the poorest of the poor. ÂGod still loves the world and He sends you and me to be His love and His compassion to the poor. She was a soul filled with the light of Christ, on fire with love for Him and burning with one desire: Âto quench His thirst for love and for souls.Â
This luminous messenger of GodÂs love was born on 26 August 1910 in Skopje, a city situated at the crossroads of Balkan history.

Mother Teresa, also known as St. Teresa of Calcutta, was born in Skopje in the Ottoman Empire (located in modern-day North Macedonia). She left home at the age of 18 to become a Roman Catholic nun and to join the Loreto Sisters in Ireland. The Missionaries of Charity was founded by Mother Teresa in India in 1950. She was 40 years old. Her lifetime of service to the poor of Kolkata (Calcutta) made her one of the most famous people in the world. In October 2003, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II, and on September 4, 2016, Pope Francis I canonised her. She was often referred to by her followers as "the Angel of Mercy" and "Saint of the Gutter." She was a woman who heard in such an extreme and personal way the call of God that she took a path that gave up the comforts of the creature most of us covet.
