God is the friend of
silence.
Trees, flowers, grass grow in silence
See the stars, moon, and sun, how they move in silence.
Mother Teresa was born in
Skopje in what is now Macedonia in 1910. At the age of eighteen she
joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with a
mission in Calcutta.
From 1929 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in
Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the
convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1946 she
received permission from the Catholic church to leave the convent
school and devote herself to working among the poor in the slums of
Calcutta. In 1950, she founded the order of Missionaries of Charity.
In
1965, Pope Paul VI put the Missionaries of Charity under the control
of the Papacy and gave authorization to Mother Teresa to expand her
Order to other countries. Centers have opened almost everywhere around
the world to assist lepers, the elderly, the blind, and people living
with AIDS. Mother Teresa also opened schools and homes for the poor
and abandoned children.
The legendary Mother Teresa's work for the poor has become the
yardstick by which the world measures compassion, generosity, and
selflessness, and she has received a number of awards and
distinctions, among them in 1979 the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting
peace and brotherhood among the nations.
Her words and actions have
inspired millions of people from all religions and races to help the
poor and the needy, and this legacy is her gift to mankind.

 Mother
Teresa : A Complete Authorized Biography
During her lifetime, Mother Teresa resisted having her
full biography written. Then, in 1991, realizing that
accounts of her life and work could inspire others, she
gave Kathryn Spink, who had long been intimately involved
with the work of Mother Teresa and her order and
co-workers around the world, permission to proceed with a
complete biography on the understanding that it would not
be finished until after her death. Here, now, is the
complete story of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, founder of
the Missionaries of Charity and winner of the Nobel Peace
Prize, a woman regarded by millions as a contemporary
saint for her dedication to serving the poorest of the
poor. From her childhood in Balkans as a member of a
remarkably openhearted and religious family to her work in
India, from attending the victims of war-torn Beirut to
pleading with George Bush and Saddam Hussein to choose
peace over war. Mother Teresa was driven by an absolute
faith. She consistently claimed that she was simply
responding to Christ's boundless love for her and for all
of humanity. Clad in her white peasant sari with
blue edging, Mother Teresa brought to the world a great
and living lesson in joyful and selfless love.
