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.
