Mother Teresa.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa was a wonderful person who inspired me to be all that I can be. Mother Teresa loved to serve people in India. She felt that God wanted her to serve the poorest of the poor in India. In everyone she sees, she feels that she is looking at Jesus face. Mother Teresa teaches us that each individual was created to love and to be loved. Mother Teresa also teaches us that your not just loving each other but you're loving God. She had heart problems but she kept on teaching.

The love we give one another is God's love in action. Mother Teresa showed that by caring for the poor in other countries. She traveled not just in India but other places around the world. Mother Teresa believed that children are the beauty of God's creation. A child is the greatest gift from God. Mother Teresa feels that when she is loving people she is loving God. Mother Teresa gave her heart out to the sick and dying. She gave her heart to people who had a disease called leprosy. What I love about Mother Teresa is that she loves everyone, she doesn't look at you and say "I'm not helping you because you're not from my country or your not the same color as me."

Mother Teresa's missionaries were very special to her. Missionaries for Charity; Home for the dying is where she went with her team of nuns and fed the people who are nearly dying and she gave them something to drink. She praised them and showed compassion ism toward them. Missionaries for Charity; Home for Children is where she fought abortion for adoption. She fed the children who were hungry and she would hold them tight. Missionaries of Charity; Motherhouse is where Mother Teresa taught the nuns who were training to become a missionaries of Charity, that you are a carry of God's love and if your not going to carry out God's work pack-up and leave.

Information that I learned about Mother Teresa that I didn't know before is that she was born to a wealthy family. After mother Teresa's father died her family

    She taught me that even though when sometimes everything is going wrong, that you need to keep your head up and keep moving forward. She lost her parents, but stayed strong. She was caught two times by the Nazis, and escaped with her family’s help. She was caught a last time, and this time, she was bound to die. While in the tunnel, she could hear the screams of the Jews getting tortured, but managed to persevere and make it out alive. I believe that is important to not give up, as well as keep moving forward even when times get rough. Nothing lasts forever, and that applies to harsh feelings as well. Everyone should remember that if you put bad things in the past, it’ll be forgotten…

    She revealed, to the world, how much the destitute suffered. The international community, and even Mother Teresa, was shocked upon seeing the living conditions of the poor. She wrote, “Today, I learned a good lesson… I thought how much they must ache in body and soul, looking for a home, food and health,” (Spink, 241) Mother Teresa’s work inspired others to help the needy, because she truly loved and assisted them (“Mother Teresa of Calcutta”). She devoted more than 45 years of her life to those who are stricken with poverty, dying, or unwanted around the world. Many believed her never-ending love of the poor brought “light” into the world.…

    Mother Teresa was a woman who inspired many people, by helping others in need. She was important and influential from the 1920’s till the day she died in 1997. Mother Teresa placed several charities in 123 countries of the world! She went all around the world to help people in need. She went to slums and nursed people back to health and cared for them. “On 21 December she went for the first time to the slums. She visited families, washed the sores of some children, cared for an old man lying sick on the road and nursed a woman dying of hunger and TB.” (Mother Teresa of Calcutta Center). Mother Teresa also had over 4000 followers, or as she called them, sisters. She had inspired so many people, and her actions impressed so many people around the world. “… the Missionaries of Charity established their first house outside of India in the Venezuelan diocese of Barquisimeto, at the invitation of Bishop Benitez. Impressed by Mother Teresa’s charitable endeavors… wanted her to assist the ‘poorest of the poor’… landless and largely illiterate descendants of African slaves… to toil in the copper mines...” (Slavicek 57)…

    Since she had taken a vow of obedience she could not leave her teaching job without approval which she didn’t get until a year and a half later. After getting permission to leave she did 6 months of medical training before going to the slums. Mother Teresa quickly began helping the poor by opening a school that was free for all to attend. She also convinced the city to donate a building to her cause which she turned into a home for the dying. As her cause became more public donations began to come in from all across India. Eventually she had enough money to create a nursing home, an orphanage, and a family clinic. After opening many charitable foundations across the world and inspiring many people Mother Teresa died September 5th 1997. As Jesus did, Mother Teresa gave her life to helping others.

    By being a devoted nun, missionary leader, charity owner, and religious icon, she still managed to be committed to the poor. Sometimes though she was going through darkness, and she questioned heaven and even God. (Gajanhan) For example, if Mother Teresa found a baby that needed to be cared for, she would take it in even if there was no space left in housing for that baby. Another example, is that she always took in everyone who came to her, and never turned anyone away, even in the hardest of times. (Gold) Mother Teresa was very involved in what she did, so no matter who you were or what happened, she would always take care of…
