Mother Theresa of Calcutta
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born in 1910 to Albanian parents in Skopje, which at the time was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. (The city is now the capital of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.) When she was 18, she entered the Order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto in Ireland. She trained in Dublin and in Darjeeling, India, before taking her religious vows in 1937. She took the name Teresa from Saint Teresa of Lisieux, the patron saint of foreign missionaries.
In September 1946, while riding in a train from Calcutta to Darjeeling to engage in 8 days of spiritual exercises, she received a divine calling from God "to serve Him amongst the poorest of the poor".
She served as principal of a Roman Catholic high school in Calcutta, and was moved by the presence of the sick and dying on the city's streets. In 1948 she was granted permission to leave her post at the convent and begin a ministry among the sick. That same year she became an Indian citizen.
In 1950 Mother Teresa and her associates were approved within the archdiocese of Calcutta as the Missionaries of Charity. The order was later recognized as a pontifical congregation under the jurisdiction of Rome. Members of the congregation take four vows on acceptance by the religious community. In addition to the three basic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, a fourth vow is required pledging service to the poor, whom Mother Teresa described as the embodiment of Christ.
In 1952 Mother Teresa opened the Nirmal Hriday (Pure Heart) Home for Dying Destitutes in Calcutta. She and her fellow nuns took in dying Indians off the streets of Calcutta and brought them to this home to care for them during the days before they died, so that they might be able to die in peace and with dignity.
In serving the people abandoned by society, Mother Teresa put love into action. Her spirit of giving inspired many to follow her, and her work eventually expanded to many other parts of the world. Today over 5000 sisters, brothers, and volunteers run approximately 500 centers worldwide, feeding 500,000 families and helping 90,000 lepers every year.
In recognition of her efforts, Mother Teresa was bestowed many awards, including the Padma Shri award for distinguished service in 1962, The Pope John XXIII Peace Prize in 1971, the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997.

...She was preparing candy for the local children around Christmas time. For about thirty years, Mother Cabrini had traveled regularly from place to place where her schools, orphanages, and hospitals were located. During her second mission, she started writing letters to the missionary sisters telling them about her travels and the daily events. To this day, the letters are still in great condition and still legible. Since Mother Cabrini died, she was sixty-seven years old and because of that, sixty-seven missions of the Institute have been established. Each is a different category of ministry including healing, teaching, caring, giving, and helping in the cities of United States as well as in Europe and South America. Her legacy still lives on to this day and as do her schools, hospitals, and orphanages.

Maria Theresa was an absolute monarch in the years 1740-1780. She was a Holy Roman Empress ruler with complete authority over the government and lives of the people in Austria, Bohemia and Hungary. She was the only woman sovereign in the history of the Habsburg Empire. Maria Theresa of Austria was a strong queen and one of her goals was to help the peasants, but this also meant she had to tax the rich more money. She doubled the troops of her late father, Charles VI, while battling Prussia. Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria deserves the title of Most Absolute monarch to add to her name. She was a generous, smart, and respectful. She is very deserving of this title.

Studies of close nit families like Amish communities who are isolated from the modern world, have shown in studies that manic depression is passed down through families and genetic in origin. Their records go generations but how reliable are these as the people studied are now deceased and over a time records can be exaggerated or over dramatised.(Hayes,2000)
Mother Teresa believed God worked through the world by prayer, in conclusion she mentioned how prayer was really important in her life and that’s how she connected to God. She mentions in the reading, “The more you pray, the better you will pray.” Not on in prayer but in silence she believed we can connect through God, as she states, “In a vocal prayer we speak to God; and in mental prayer he speaks to us.” Mother Teresa really believed we knew and can be certain that God is possible. Her knowledge of God is related to faith, since she has a knowledge of God she continues her life based off of what she should do for him. She gives to people and serves people for God. An example in the reading is when the poor family with children is given rice, and the mother ends up giving half of the rice to the other family she knows that was starving. This is a Godly act that was preformed.
Over these past two weeks our class has been talking about Frederick Rosevelt’s “New Deal”. The New Deal was created as soon as Frederick Rosevelt took the seat in the oval office. He made the new deal to help fix our economy after The Great Depression. The New Deal was an “ultimate” reform movement that took place back in 1933 and 1939. Although Franklin D. Rosevelt’s New Deal was very productive the U.S economy, our economy did not fully recover until World War II. The Great Depression started on October 29th, 1929. There was a huge stock market crash that took place and everyone all over the world was effected. Although the stock market crash put a huge impact the cause of The Great Depression it wasn't the only reason it started. There

Mother Teresa should have helped the poor for three reason. Mother Teresa was called to minister to the poor by God, she would help the children of the poor, and she would reflect the love of Christ to the outside...
The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”- Mother Teresa. Another beautiful act of a humble nun, was her main philosophy of the poor, and how all of us are spiritually poor in some way. Though, her philosophy could be taken one of two ways, she still had respect for the rich and kindness for the poor. Some say Mother Teresa was a saint, others would say she resembled a kind hearted individual, unfortunately, people thought she was abusive towards poor children, but as this was made very clear that she isn't a hospital but rather a home- and to provide a home, she also trained abandoned infants. Was this impartial poor or rich people? Was there really any form of rank in Mother Teresa?
Evidence from her residence in the Indian village of Calcutta reveals that she sympathized with the poor and the vulnerable people in the society. Although she had conducted other voluntary missions before, the love for human beings was revealed when she decided to live among the poor people in the village of Calcutta. Her compassionate nature was largely derived from the teachings of Jesus Christ. For example, one of the many articles on Mother Teresa observed that Mother Teresa was on several occasions heard quoting the teachings of Jesus Christ. One of the quotes that she referred to was “Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me” (Emilie 3). The foregoing reveals that she was ready to treat vulnerable human beings in a manner that upheld their
