| | Mother Teresa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Teresa also believed in ecumenism, as she stated "There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. | | | Mother Teresa is well known and well loved amongst members of the Catholic church for always speaking the ‘truth’ as Catholics who are followers of the teachings of the Church at Rome believe it to be. | | | Teresa was also known for her books about Christian spirituality and prayer, some of which were written together with her close friend Frère Roger. |

| | Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997), biography |
| | Mother Teresa left a testament of unshakable faith, invincible hope and extraordinary charity. | | | The whole of Mother Teresa’s life and labour bore witness to the joy of loving, the greatness and dignity of every human person, the value of little things done faithfully and with love, and the surpassing worth of friendship with God. | | | On 24 May 1937, Sister Teresa made her Final Profession of Vows, becoming, as she said, the “spouse of Jesus” for “all eternity.” From that time on she was called Mother Teresa. |

| | Mother Teresa's motive in all her actions was the love of Christ, and the will to "do something beautiful for God," in the service of the Church. | | | Mother Teresa adds a word for the people of "rich" countries: "Since our poor people can avoid destroying the life God has created in us, how much easier it should be for you (`the rich') who know the means" (December 11, 1979). | | | Faithful to the Church, Mother Teresa did not accept contraception, that is to say, any action which, either before the marriage act, or during it, or in the development of its natural consequences, has as end or as a means to make procreation impossible (pills, condoms). |

| | Mother Teresa Biography |
| | As for clothing, Teresa decided she would set aside the habit she had worn during her years as a Loreto sister and wear the ordinary dress of an Indian woman: a plain white sari and sandals. | | | From their birth in Calcutta, nourished by the faith, compassion and commitment of Mother Teresa, the Missionaries of Charity have grown like the mustard seed of the Scriptures. | | | Though so much of her young life was centered in the Church, Mother Teresa later revealed that until she reached 18, she had never thought of being a nun. |

| | The My Hero Project - Mother Teresa |
| | With the Pope's blessing, Mother Teresa descended into the slums of Calcutta, undoubtedly one of the poorest cities on the planet, and began the Sisters of Charity. | | | This person was Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a woman who was celebrated worldwide as a saint and who lived a life that wholly justified this renown. | | | I want to help people and I want people to respect me and look up to me. I want to be the type of person she was, an Angel, a living Saint. |

| | The fanatic, fraudulent Mother Teresa. By Christopher Hitchens |
| | What is so striking about the "beatification" of the woman who styled herself "Mother" Teresa is the abject surrender, on the part of the church, to the forces of showbiz, superstition, and populism. | | | The pope beatifies Mother Teresa, a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud. | | | She was a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud, and a church that officially protects those who violate the innocent has given us another clear sign of where it truly stands on moral and ethical questions. |

| | It will not be easy filling the sandals of a strong candidate for sainthood whose faith, determination and compassion built the Missionaries of Charity into a worldwide mission with 4,500 nuns and religious brothers working at almost 600 homes in 126 countries, including the United States. | | | Catholic priests and Indian benefactors close to the order have described Sister Nirmala as similar to Mother Teresa -- a diminutive woman of intense faith, kindness, purposefulness and administrative skill. | | | After her conversion to Catholicism, she took as her religious name a Hindi word that suggests a purity of mind and spirit. |

| | Underneath Teresa's efforts was not an effort to further the total quality of life of the world's poor, but rather, to further the ends of the church, which never seeks to fully emancipate the poor in any enlightened sense. | | | She proclaimed that the people she was taking care of there "don't need to die!" She asserted that most of the sisters caring for the destitute weren't very bright, and that there are means of keeping the destitute alive of which the Missionaries of Charity would not partake. | | | This, too, is hardly news: Mother Theresa's Missionaries of Charity are, and have always been, a fundamentally religious society which is also engaged in charitable work. |

| | FT May 2003: The Dark Night of Mother Teresa |
| | Humanly, there were times when Mother Teresa felt burnt out, but faith supplied what was lacking even to troubled faith; spiritually she was often desolate, but her vow endured and her visible radiance—to which everyone attests—was undiminished. | | | If these days are in any sense a dark night for the Church, then Mother Teresa shows the way forward: faith that we are undergoing a purification rather than a free-fall, and fidelity, in small things as well as big, to the vows that bind in order to set free. | | | At age thirty-two, at the end of her annual retreat, with the permission of her spiritual director, Mother Teresa made a vow to give herself utterly and unreservedly to Christ: “To give God anything that He may ask. |
