Mother Teresa’s Vocation
At the early age of twelve, Agnes knew she wished to become a nun. Mary hoped that becoming a nun would lead her to a life like that described in the wonderful stories told of missionaries and saints at her local parish. She left home to follow her dreams, never to see her mother again.
At age 12 is when Agnes started to believe that God was calling her to become a nun. This is when she started looking into becoming a nun and what it would involve.
Agnes did many things like read books and talk to her mother and parish priest ,
