Mother Teresa, a name that resonates globally, is a symbol of unparalleled compassion and service to humanity. She was born in Skopje as Anjeze gonxhe gojaxhiu, and she committed herself unwaveringly to serving the most impoverished. This book, “Mother Teresa,” explores the life and legacy of a woman who, through her engagement with the Missionaries of Charity, embodied the very essence of selfnessness and became a beacon of hope.
The Missionaries of Charity, which Mother Teresa established in 1950 in Kolkata, India, are not merely an organization; they are a testament to her enduring vision.
The organization was founded with a single objective: to assist “the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel
unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone.” This profound mission
resonated with a significant number of individuals, resulting in the order’s exponential growth in both numbers and geographical scope. The Missionaries of
Charity continue to serve humanity in the most impoverished regions of the globe, operating in more than 130 countries today.
