Quote of the Day: Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, in 1950, dedicating her work to caring for the sick, destitute, and dying. Her compassion and humility earned her global recognition, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months’ training in Dublin, she was sent to India, where, on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun.
