Mother+Teresa+-+Group+1





Mother Teresa helped others by visiting families throughout India, and washing the sores of some children. She worked with abandoned children by teaching them the basic habits of good hygiene, and she helped them learn the rudiments of the alphabet. One day, she saw a woman dying on the side of the road from hunger and TB, so she feed her and gave her a bed that she could have a peaceful and dignified place to die. She did many things to help people and this was only a couple.

Mother Teresa did this because she said during the train ride to Darjeeling on September 10, 1946 she received her "inspiration", her "call within a call", Jesus took hold of her heart. His thirst took hold of her life and she saved a man with a mental problem and visions. God revealed his pain at the neglect of the poor, his sadness at their ignorance and his longing for their love. So, God asked her to establish religious communities. She made the Missionaries of the Poor with that in mind. She made many religious communities, but also made communities for the people of many faiths and nationalities like the Co-Workers of Mother Teresa and the Sick and Suffering Co-Workers. The many communities weren't just in Asia, they were all over the world.

Mother Teresa hated and couldn't stand to see a person unloved, uncared for, and especially unwanted. So she tried her best to make them feel loved, cared for, and wanted. God's will for Mother Teresa was to help people, and she listened to Him. The people she cared for were shown God's light, love, and more. Mother Teresa showed them love, passion, and kindness.
