Mother Teresa, Woman of the Century
Mother Teresa of Calcuta was born in Albania. At the age of 18, Mother Teresa attended the religious Order called Our Lady of Loreto in Ireland. She received her spiritual training in Ireland and Darjeeling, India. She was born with the name Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. But in 1931, Mother Teresa took the name of Teresa from the French nun Thérèse Martin, who was canonized in 1927 with the title St. Thérèse of Lisieux. In 1937, Mother Teresa took her vows. She taught for 20 years in Saint Mary's High School in Calcutta, India. In September 10, 1946, Mother Teresa received another call from God to serve the poorest of the poor who live in the streets. She loved that country so much that she became a citizen of India in 1948, the same year Pope Pious XII granted her permission to leave her duties. Mother Theresa became an independent nun. She began to share her life with the poor, the sick and the hungry of Calcutta. Mother Teresa established a congregation called the Missionaries of Charity. She began her work in India by teaching the children of the streets how to read. In 1950, Mother Teresa began to also care for lepers. In 1965, Pope Paul VI put the Missionaries of Charity under his protection and gave Mother Teresa permission to expand her Order to other countries. Centers have opened almost everywhere around the world to assist lepers, the elderly, the blind, and people living with AIDS. Mother Teresa also opened schools and homes for the poor and abandoned children. Her vocation was a message of love. Her work demonstrates that a true conviction is always accompanied by action and that love in action is service.

Mother Frances Mary Teresa Ball
Born in Dublin 9 January, 1794; died 19 May, 1861; foundress of the Irish Branch of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (See Sisters of Loreto .) She was a daughter of John Ball and Mabel Clare Bennet. At the age of nine years, Frances was sent to the convent school at the Bar, York, England, conducted by the English Ladies of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She remained here until the death of her father, in 1808, and then spent some time with her mother at home. In 1814, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Murray, Archbishop of Dublin, Frances returned to York and entered the novitiate of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There she received her religious training, and made her profession in 1816, taking, in religion, the name of Mary Teresa. Recalled by Archbishop Murray, she returned to Dublin with two novices, in 1821, to establish the Irish Branch of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the instruction of children. In 1822 she opened the first institution of the order in Ireland, in Rathfarnam House, four miles from Dublin. Mother Frances was a woman of great piety and administrative ability. Her energies were devoted to the establishment of schools and to the development of the sisterhood which now has members in many countries. Coleridge

Steps to sainthood In the 10th century, Pope John XV developed an official canonisation procedure, which went through some revisions in the ensuing 1,000 years.
  • The process must begin five years after the candidates' death. (Pope John Paul II waived this requirement in Mother Teresa's case.)
  • Local bishops investigate the life of the candidate and the findings are sent to the Vatican.
  • After approval by a panel of theologians and cardinals, the pope proclaims the candidate is "venerable," meaning a role model of Roman Catholic virtues.
  • The next step is beatification if it is determined by the church that the candidate is responsible for a miracle after his or her death.

    Sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel History of Our Congregation
    The Institute of the sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a contemplative and active religious congregation that was founded in Florence, Italy on October 15, 1854 by Mother Maria Teresa Scrilli . The Mother Foundress inspired by the Holy Spirit,began the institute out of her deep concern "to lead souls to God" and as a response to the great sociatal need of the times.
    Her concern for the moral, christian and civil instruction and education of youth from their tenderest years through adolescence gave birth to the teaching apostolate of the Order. In later years, the need arose to extend the work of the Order to include in homes for the aged. These works are now being continued in the countries of Italy, the United States of America, Canada, India, Poland, the Republic of Cesks and Brazil.
    The Canadian foundation began in 1949 in Niagara Falls Canada. For the past twenty-two years, the Institute has been working in the Archdiocese of Toronto serving the community though our Day Care Centers, parish work and nursing.
    In 1975, the Italian community in Toronto built a facility for their elderly citizens known as Villa Columbo. Our sisters were invited to offer assistance to these many years the sisters have been providing a climate of family warmth and loving care. They assist these residents in their medical, spiritual and basic human needs.

    Schedule for Mother Teresa's funeral
    CALCUTTA, India (CNN) The world bids a final farewell to Mother Teresa Saturday. Delegates from about two dozen countries are expected to attend the elaborate ceremony. Mother Teresa will be honored with a state funeral. But, because she held no public office, she will receive three rifle volleys instead of a 21-gun salute during the private burial at Mother House, the world headquarters of her order. Following is the schedule for Mother Teresa's funeral and burial service, with Calcutta times listed: 9 a.m. Saturday (11:30 p.m. EDT Friday) Mother Teresa's body is taken by military guard from St. Thomas Church to Netaji indoor stadium. Procession includes two chief mourners, Catholic nuns, aid volunteers, handicapped people, lepers, orphans and homeless people.

    "Saint of the gutters"
    Legacy extends beyond India to the world
    (CNN) Nearly 50 years ago, Mother Teresa found a woman "half eaten by maggots and rats" lying in front of a Calcutta hospital. The diminutive Roman Catholic nun sat with the woman until she died. Soon after, she began a campaign for a shelter for people to die with dignity. Until her death Friday she made a mission of caring for the human castoffs the world wanted to forget. Accepting the Nobel peace prize in the name of the "unwanted, unloved and uncared for," she wore the same $1 white sari that she had adopted to identify herself with the poor when she founded her order, Missionaries of Charity. Her impact was mostly felt in her adopted home, Calcutta, where she directed the Missionaries of Charity for nearly 50 years. But the order's work spread across the globe after 1965, when Pope Paul VI authorized its expansion. She created a global network of homes for the poor, from the hovels of Calcutta to the ghettos of New York, including one of the first homes for AIDS victims. Misery had a formidable and unrelenting foe in Mother Teresa; Whether it was in Ethiopia tending to the hungry or in the squalid townships of South Africa, Calcutta's "angel of mercy" was there. In 1982, at the height of the seige in Beirut, the frail nun rescued 37 children trapped in a front line hospital by brokering a temporary cease-fire between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerillas.

    A special voice for the poor
    The following essay is by Pranay Gupte, a columnist for Newsweek International, and editor and publisher of "The Earth Times." Mother Teresa, the charismatic nun who died September 5 at the age of 87, was hardly a political figure in the conventional sense. But she had a politician's sense of issues and timing: she knew that in modern-day India, a nation of nearly a billion overwhelmingly poor people, the biggest issue of all was poverty. She drew larger crowds and invited greater affection than any politician testimony to her integrity and her humility, qualities conspicuous by their absence in the men and women who govern the world's largest democracy today. No soaring rhetoric for her, no appealing to atavistic impulses to take to the streets for humanitarian causes just a simple, central message that resonated among everyday Indians: poverty is not noble nor acceptable, social justice does not automatically follow economic development. That message seized Indians and non-Indians alike because, notwithstanding the liberalization and progress that are fashionable to cite in this, the Subcontinent's 50th year of independence from the British colonial Raj, the chasm between haves and have-nots in India is so great that they might as well be living in two different countries. Mother Teresa herself would sometimes toss out a statistic or two, softly to be sure but chilling nevertheless: 300 million people living below the poverty line, millions more with options for economic mobility denied.

    Mother Teresa: a profile
    (CNN) "The other day I dreamed that I was at the gates of heaven....And St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here.'" These words, once spoken by Mother Teresa, vividly recall the life of the late Roman Catholic nun and missionary known as "the Saint of the Gutters." For Mother Teresa, who devoted her life to the succor of the sick and the outcast, earthly sufferers were nothing less than Christ in "distressing disguise." From an early age, the girl who would become Mother Teresa felt the call to help others. Born August 26, 1910, in Skopje (now in Macedonia), Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was the daughter of Albanian parents a grocer and his wife. As a public school student she developed a special interest in overseas missions and, by age 12, realized her vocation was aiding the poor. She was inspired to work in India by reports sent home from Jesuit missionaries in Bengal. And at 18, she left home to join a community of Irish nuns with a mission in Calcutta. Here, she took the name "Sister Teresa," after Saint Teresa of Lisieux, the patroness of missionaries. She spent 17 years teaching and being principal of St. Mary's high school in Calcutta. However, in 1946, her life changed forever. After falling ill with suspected tuberculosis she was sent to the town of Darjeeling to recover.

    On poverty
    "I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?" 1974 interview. "When I see waste here, I feel angry on the inside. I don't approve of myself getting angry. But it's something you can't help after seeing Ethiopia." Washington 1984.
    On the Nobel Peace Prize
    "I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared-for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone." Accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, 1979.
    On war
    "I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking (myself), 'What do they feel when they do this?' I don't understand it. They are all children of God. Why do they do it? I don't understand." Beirut 1982, during fighting between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas. "Please choose the way of peace. ... In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause."
