Mother Teresa of Calcutta

For over forty years, this nun totally dedicated her life to helping the destitute and dying people of Calcutta. Her Christian faith inspired her to live in the slums and share her life with the poor.

She died in 1997.

She said:
'What these people need even more than food and shelter is to be wanted.
They understand that even if they only have a few hours left to live, they are loved.
Make. us worthy Lord, to serve those throughout the world
who live and die poor and hungry'.
