Who was Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta? – missionary of charity, Nobel laureate and servant of the poorest

Born in 1910 as Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, she grew up in a devout Albanian family. Feeling called to missionary life, she joined the Loreto Sisters and later served in India as a teacher. In 1946 she experienced a profound spiritual calling urging her to leave the convent and live among the poorest of the poor. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, a congregation dedicated to serving the dying, the abandoned and the most vulnerable. Her work brought global recognition and the Nobel Peace Prize, yet she always emphasized that she served “Jesus in distressing disguise.” Canonized in 2016, she remains a symbol of mercy, compassion and radical love.
