Question

Let’s know Madre Teresa de Calcutá.


Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje Macedonia, on August 26th

1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. Mother Teresa was the third child of Albanian grocer

Nikola Bojaxhiu and his wife Drane. She had an older sister, Aga, and an older brother, Lazar. Her

father died when she was about eight years old. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of

God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she

left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with

missions in India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24,

1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 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 1948 she received permission from her superiors to

leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the

slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started

an open-air school for slum children.

Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming.

This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.

On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her

own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those

persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International

Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.
