About a Real Saint

Karen Cole-Peralta
Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway of 1979 for opening missions all over the world, teaching people about helping the poorest of the poor, and traveling around the world herself to help these people.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” ~ Mother Teresa

"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty." ~ Mother Teresa

The less you have, the freer you are. The rich are sometimes poorer than the poor; they’re lonelier inside. They always need something more. The hunger for love, you see, is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” ~ Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa, with the help of donations from the public who supported her cause, opened villages on the outskirts of the town Calcutta. Lepers could be treated, stay away from un-infected relatives, and live in cleanliness and dignity there.


Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity and The Brotherhood of Charity helped the poorest of the poor in all ways possible. Mother Teresa believed being poor, was the step to helping the poor, and so the Missionaries and Brotherhood did not use many luxuries or eat out. Even with the many donations and awards received, they refused to use much of this money for themselves, and gave much to the poor, by not only opening missions, hospitals, and hospice, but also using this money to feed them. Some even required medicine.

Mother Teresa resigned as mother general of the Missionaries of Charity and shortly after died in a mother house on September 5th, 1996.

I have worked on some 137 books over my lifetime of experience, ghost writing, copy editing, rewriting and proof reading for authors. I usually only take credit as the "editor" when I ghost write or copy edit for an author, and my fees are lower than industry standard rates.

You can visit my main website at Rainbow Writing, Inc. for more information about Rainbow Writing, Inc., which has been on the Internet since 2003. We are professional freelance book authors, ghost writers, copy editors, proof readers, rewriters, coauthors and website developers for quite cheap.

I have won awards for my journalism, poetry, short stories and articles. I am multiply published and have had my own novels, novellas, short stories and scripts published. I am currently working on The Rainbow Horizon, a humorous fiction novel set in a small town in Washington State, and it should be out sometime late this year or early next year. I have contributed to national and international magazines and newspapers, as well as several internet publications. I am always looking for new projects and clients.
