Publisher's Synopsis
Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was beloved the world over for her tireless work to serve millions of the world's poor, outcast, ill and dying. Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Macedonia, she became a nun and took the name Sister Mary Teresa at the age of 18. In the 1930s, she first travelled to India, which became her home. In the following years, through her Missionaries of Charity, she established an international network of clinics, orphanages and other institutions devoted to helping the poor. In 2016, she was canonised by Pope Francis at a mass attended by tens of thousands. This book collects hundreds of quotations from this determined and inspirational woman.
