Male: Calcutta, one of the world’s largest cities where many are in languish at the bottom of society’s hit. Mother Theresa is remarkable for them. People of Calcutta will never forget Mother Theresa. What she did for the people of Calcutta changed the mind people on streets with a bottom languish on the society. I then think anyone else has given anything like that.
In 1985, Mother Theresa received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the US President Ronald Reagan. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Piece Prize, two remarkable honors for simple Roman Catholic nun from Albania.
Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu was born in Skopje in 1910 and died in Calcutta in 1997, having spent more than 40 years attending to the disadvantaged in destitute.
Male: He belong to the world. You can say that she belongs to the world each and every people, something you can say the person was begging for the food and the person were having the millionaire’s sees for all. She was for all.
Male: So you’re proud as a Catholic?
Male: Yeah I’m proud, very proud.
Male: Agnese received her calling early deciding at the age of 12 that her destiny was to be a nun. She took the name Theresa after the patron saint of missionaries Therese of Lisieux. She took her final vows while teaching in a convent school in Calcutta in 1937, but soon left the school to find the missionaries of charity. They only began with just 30 members.
At the time of Theresa’s death, it had 4000 nuns and around a hundred thousand lay volunteers, upgrading 610 missions in a 123 countries.
Male: Mother Theresa is such an individual and took the suggestion of such charity’s work to a certain level, but it so difficult for others to reach that level, so that’s still continuous, particularly her charisma, particularly the kind of love and respect. She used to command from the people belonging to any community it creates or any sections and that in any succession or anyone automatically they cannot inherit that. You can inherit organization, you can inherit the institutions and even the motto, but you cannot inherit the love and affection and the kind of respect only you can do it to your own work.
Male: Theresa’s life meant living away from the cloisters, and among the impoverished and sick. In her words, her aim was to help the naked, the hungry, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers. All those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for through our society. But despite her extra ordinary achievements, Mother Theresa did not escape criticism during her lifetime where indeed since her death.
The most vocal critics include the author Christopher Hitchens who was the only witnessed called by the Vatican would evidence against her beatification in canonization process. He claimed that she had admitted to him that her aim was not to alleviate poverty, but simply to swell the number of Catholics. “I’m not a social worker,” she told Hitchens, “I do it for Christ.”
“
However, two years after her death, she was ranked the most admired person in the 20th century in the US poll and in 2003, she was officially beatified by Pope John Paul II, a significant step on the path to sainthood and the sisters of the mission was of charity are continuing her mission.
Female: It is still the same because it is not Mother’s personality that did it but it happened because of Mother’s trust in God and she used God’s work and she new if she did what he wanted her to do he would provide and she was not worried even after her death. She knew since her work if they continue. So it is continuing.
