Biography of  life 

Urban stone-and-glass building Memorial House of Mother Teresa in her native Skopje Mother Teresa was born Anjezë Gonxhe (or Gonxha)[10][page needed] Bojaxhiu (Albanian: [aˈɲɛzə ˈɡɔndʒɛ bɔjaˈdʒiu]; Anjezë is a cognate of "Agnes"; Gonxhe means "rosebud" or "little flower" in Albanian) on 26 August 1910 into a Kosovar Albanian family[11][12][13] in Skopje, Ottoman Empire (now the capital of North Macedonia).[14][15] She was baptised in Skopje the day after her birth.[10][page needed] She later considered 27 August, the day she was baptised, her "true birthday".[14] She was the youngest child of Nikollë and Dranafile Bojaxhiu (Bernai).[16] Her father, who was involved in Albanian-community politics in Ottoman Macedonia, died in 1919 when she was eight years old.[14][b] He was born in Prizren (today in Kosovo), however, his family was from Mirdita (present-day Albania).[17][18] Her mother may have been from a village near Gjakova.[19] According to a biography by Joan Graff Clucas, Anjezë was in her early years when she became fascinated by stories of the lives of missionaries and their service in Bengal; by age 12, she was convinced that she should commit herself to religious life.[20] Her resolve strengthened on 15 August 1928 as she prayed at the shrine of the Black Madonna of Vitina-Letnice, where she often went on pilgrimages.[21] Anjezë left home in 1928 at age 18 to join the Sisters of Loreto at Loreto Abbey in Rathfarnham, Ireland, to learn English with the intent of becoming a missionary; English was the language of instruction of the Sisters of Loreto in India.[22] She saw neither her mother nor her sister again.[23] Her family lived in Skopje until 1934, when they moved to Tirana.[24] She arrived in India in 1929[25] and began her novitiate in Darjeeling, in the lower Himalayas,[26] where she learned Bengali and taught at St. Teresa's School near her convent.[27] She took her first religious vows on 24 May 1931. She chose to be named after Thérèse de Lisieux, the patron saint of missionaries;[28][29] because a nun in the convent had already chosen that name, she opted for its Spanish spelling of Teresa.[30] Teresa took her solemn vows on 14 May 1937 while she was a teacher at the Loreto convent school in Entally, eastern Calcutta, taking the style of 'Mother' as part of Loreto custom.[14][31][32] She served there for nearly twenty years and was appointed its headmistress in 1944.[33] Although Mother Teresa enjoyed teaching at the school, she was increasingly disturbed by the poverty surrounding her in Calcutta.[34] The Bengal famine of 1943 brought misery and death to the city, and the August 1946 Direct Action Day began a period of Muslim-Hindu violence.[35] In 1946, during a visit to Darjeeling by train, Mother Teresa felt that she heard the call of her inner conscience, to serve the poor of India for Jesus. She asked for and received permission to leave the school. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, choosing a white sari with two blue borders as the order's habit.

"I had to leave the monastery and help the poor while I lived with them. That was the commandment. To fail would be to fail in breach of faith." [36] Joseph Langford later wrote: "Although no one knew it at the time, 'Sister Teresa had just become Mother Teresa.'" [37] He began missionary work with the poor in 1948, [25] replacing his traditional Loreto habit with a simple white cotton sari with a blue border. Mother Teresa took Indian citizenship, spent several months in Patna to receive basic medical training at the Holy Family Hospital and experimented in the slums. [38] [39] He founded a school in Motijhil, Calcutta, before taking care of the poor and hungry [40] In early 1949, Mother Teresa led her efforts with a group of young women and laid the foundations of a new religious community that helped "the poorest of the poor" [41] His efforts soon attracted the attention of Indian officials, including the Prime Minister. [42] Mother Teresa wrote in her diary that her first year was full of adversity. With no income, he begged for food and supplies, and in these first months he experienced doubt, loneliness, and the temptation to return to the comforts of monastic life: Our Lord wants me to be a free nun, thought in poverty on the cross. I learned a good lesson today. The poverty of the poor must be very hard for them. When I was looking for a house, I walked and walked until my hands and feet hurt. I thought of how souls had to suffer and suffer in search of a home, food and health. Then I was seduced by the consolation of Loreto [his former congregation]. "Just say the word and everything will be done again," continues the Decorator. ... By free choice, my God, and out of love for you, I desire to stay and do what is in my attention your Divine will. I shed no tears [43] The four nuns wore sandals and a white and blue saree Missionaries of love in traditional sarees On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Vatican for the diocesan congregation to become Missionaries of Charity [44] "those who feel unneeded, unloved, indifferent to society as a whole, people who have become a burden to society and shunned by everyone." [45] In 1952, Mother Teresa opened her first hospice with the help of Calcutta officials. He turned an abandoned Hindu temple into the Kalighat Home for the Dying, free for the poor, and named it Kalighat, Home of the Pure Heart (Nirmal Hriday). [46] Those who were brought home were given medical care and the opportunity to die with dignity according to their beliefs: Muslims read the Koran, Hindus received water from the Ganges, and Catholics received strict anointing [47] . "A beautiful death," said Mother Teresa, "is for people who live like animals to die like angels - loved and wanted."
