Jeta sekrete
e shenjtores Nėna Tereze |
 Nėnė
Tereza: Ne kemi zgjidhur kėtė. Ky ėshtė ndryshimi midis nesh
dhe tė varfėrve. Kėshtu ne jemi mė afėr te varfėrve tanė. Si
mund tė jemi besnikė ndaj tyre nė qoftė se bėjmė njė lloj
tjetėr jetese? Nė qoftė se ne kemi tė gjitha gjėrat qė mund
tė blihen me para nė kėtė botė, atėherė ēfarė lidhjeje do tė
kishim me tė varfėrit? Ēfarė gjuhe do tė flisnim me ta? Tani
nė qoftė se njerėzit thonė se ėshtė shumė nxehtė, unė mund
t'u them shikoni dhomėn time.
Me teper Kliko!

MOTHER TERESA (GONXHE
BOJAXHIU) 1910 - 1997 |
|
Mother Teresa was
born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia, on
August 27, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent.
At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of
God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the
love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she left her
parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of
Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in
India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was
sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her
initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa
taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the
suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent
walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948
she received permission from her superiors to leave
the convent school and devote herself to working among
the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta.
Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine
Providence, and started an open-air school for slum
children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers,
and financial support was also forthcoming. This made
it possible for her to extend the scope of her work. |

On October 7, 1950,
Mother Teresa received permission from the
Holy See to start her own order, "The
Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task
was to love and care for those persons
nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965
the Society became an International
Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul
VI.
Today the order
comprises Active and Contemplative branches
of Sisters and Brothers in many countries.
In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the
Sisters and the Active branch of the
Brothers was founded. In 1979 the
Contemplative branch of the Brothers was
added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was
established.
The Society of
Missionaries has spread all over the world,
including the former Soviet Union and
Eastern European countries. They provide
effective help to the poorest of the poor in
a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and
Latin America, and they undertake relief
work in the wake of natural catastrophes
such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and
for refugees. The order also has houses in
North America, Europe and Australia, where
they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics,
homeless, and AIDS sufferers.
The Missionaries of
Charity throughout the world are aided and
assisted by Co-Workers who became an
official International Association on March
29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one
million Co-Workers in more than 40
countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the
lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow
Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their
families.
Mother Teresa's work
has been recognised and acclaimed throughout
the world and she has received a number of
awards and distinctions, including the Pope
John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru
Prize for her promotion of international
peace and understanding (1972). She also
received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the
Templeton and Magsaysay awards.
