Story Of Mother Teresa
Story Of Mother Teresa
Although she was known as " The Living Saint " during her lifetime , Mother Teresa was officially Canonised by Pope Francis on September 4 , 2016 , at St Peter's Square in Vatican City , thus ranking her among the many Saints of the Catholic Church . As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of her passing on September 5 , I venture to write about the physically diminutive but spiritually enormous lady whom I had the honour to meet during her visit to Sri Lanka .
Much has been written about Mother Teresa who has been a controversial figure ; admired for her charitable works , she was also criticised for her anti - abortion views . The year was 1910 , the day August 26 , in a little town in Skopje , ( the current Capital of the Republic of Macedonia ) , a girl who was named Agnes Gonhxa Bojaxhiu was born to Albanian parents . She was later to become the woman who has been variously addressed as The Mother of Mercy , India's Angel of the slums , Saint of the Gutters . Whatever one would refer to her as, she was a woman who experienced God's call that she gave up the creature most of us crave for.
At 18 she entered Loretto Convent in Dublin , Ireland . She took her first profession in 1931 and was to be known as Sister Teresa , after her patroness , St Therese of Lisieux . As the majority of the Loretto Nuns in Ireland served in India , she too got a teaching assignment at Loretto Convent , Calcutta . However , it was on September 10 , 1946 , on a train journey from Calcutta to Darjeeling , Mother Teresa received the " call within a call " which was to give rise to the Order of the Missionaries of Charity . After 2 years of service on the streets of Calcutta , Mother Teresa requested and received Vatican permission to start a diocesan congregation which would officially be erected as a religious institute on October 7 , 1950 .
