Born in Skopje in 1910, at 18 Mother Teresa entered the Sisters of Loreto convent in Ireland, soon moving to India to teach in a girls’ school for the next 20 years. In 1946 during a train ride, she heard Christ’s “call within a call” and His thirst for love and for souls - “Come be My light,” He begged. In 1948, she donned the white and blue sari and established the Missionaries of Charity to serve the poorest of the poor. Starting each day with Holy Communion and Rosary in hand, she and her sisters went out to serve the old and young in the Indian ghettos and in over 123 countries by the 1990s before her death in 1997.
