In Loving Memory Of Mother Teresa

1910-1997

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin,
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
-Emily Dickinson

The world has lost a gentle human being...
and gained a guardian angel...

Mother Teresa was born in Albania in 1910. Originally named Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, she entered the order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto in Ireland at the age of 18. She took her religious vows in 1937 and served as the principal of a Roman Catholic high school in Calcutta. In 1950, she started her missionary works for the poor people in Calcutta and in 1952 she opened the "Nirmal Hriday (Pure Heart) Home for Dying Destitutes" in Calcutta. In recognition of her hard work and effort, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

Mother Teresa ... In Her Own Words!

"Intense love does not measure; it just gives."
"Little things are indeed little,
but to be faithful in little things is a great thing."
"Nakedness is not only for a piece of clothing;
nakedness is lack of human dignity,
and also that beautiful virtue of purity,
and lack of that respect for each other."
"Give until it hurts."
"The world today is hungry not only for bread but hungry for love;
hungry to be wanted, to be loved."

"Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen,
for God speaks in the silence of the heart."
"We have been created to love and to be loved."
"If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace,
because you know what you are."
"Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure
as long as you have done your best."
"We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly."

"If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive."
"A nation that destroys the life of an unborn child,
who has been created for living and loving,
who has been created in the image of God,
is in a tremendous poverty."
"If we pray, we will believe;
If we believe, we will love;
If we love, we will serve."
"We can do no great things;
only small things with great love."

Mother Teresa was very special...and very loved.
