Mother Teresa of Calcutta is an “inestimable gift for the Church and the world”,
said Pope Benedict XVI Thursday in a message to the Superior General of the
Missionaries of Charity, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Blessed’s birth.
Born in Albania August 26, 1910, for over 45 years Mother Teresa ministered
to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of
Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.
The message, written personally by the Pope, was read out during Mass
celebrated by the Archbishop of Calcutta, Lucas Sirkar in the Motherhouse of the
Missionaries of Charity, the same house where on October 7 1950 she founded her
order dedicated to the care of the sick, the destitute and the dying.
(Billy's Thoughts>>> Mother Teresa was a great lady who made an impact that all life is a gift from God. I post this as a non Catholic who is an Evangelical Follower of Jesus. If you care to read more of the above click on the following link, World
