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…

    One did not have to look very hard to see both elements of the hero and the saint in the life of Mother Teresa, as she made the conscience decision, much as a saint would, that she would deny Jesus nothing that he asked of her. However, as was with the heroic identity, Mother Teresa struggled internally to understand her meaning in life and what Jesus wanted from her.…

    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.…

    She was traveling to the Himalayan Foothills when she heard God talking to her, saying that she should abandon her life of teaching and work in the slums of Calcutta aiding the sickest and poorest. She believed that even though she was leaving the convent, her vocation got stronger. It was putting what they had always been taught into action. Teresa thought that in the eyes of some it would be considered a failure, but she knew that in the eyes of God it would be just the opposite. She knew that in her calling, Christ was telling her to create her own…

As each person knows, Mother Theresa undoubtedly and significantly showed love and care to the Indian people.…
