Today is international women's day. I wish all women's all over the
HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY...O n this wonderful day i want to share about a woman who i admire a lot in my life.It's none other then
Mother Theresa.
Mother Theresa born
on Aug. 27, 1910, at Skopje, Maced., Ottoman Empire and died on died Sept. 5, 1997, Calcutta,
India; beatified Oct. 19, 2003) Roman Catholic nun, founder of the Order of the
Missionaries of Charity. The daughter of a grocer, she became a nun and went to
India as a young woman. After studying nursing, she moved to the slums of
Calcutta (Kolkata); in 1948 she founded her order, which served the blind, the
aged, the disabled, and the dying. In 1963 the Indian government awarded her the
Padmashri ("Lord of the Lotus") for her services to the people of India, and in
1971 Pope Paul VI awarded her the first Pope
John XXIII Peace Prize. In 1979 she received the Nobel Prize for Peace. Although
in her later years she suffered from a worsening heart condition, Mother Teresa
continued to serve the poor and sick and also spoke out against divorce,
contraception, and abortion. Her order included hundreds of centers in more than
90 countries, with some 4,000 nuns and hundreds of thousands of lay workers. She
was succeeded by the Indian-born Sister Nirmala. The process to declare her a
saint began within two years of her death, and Pope John Paul II issued a special
dispensation to expedite the process. She was beatified on Oct. 19, 2003,
reaching the ranks of the blessed in the shortest time in the church's
history.
Mother Theresa is a women symbol of peace.She always likes to help poor people who are suffer in their life.
As a women i also want to help poor people. Although she was very famous but she not be proud of it.she always looked for new things and help as many as she can.....I wish to be like her.....Women are great...
