I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience? -Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) was beloved the world over for her tireless work to serve millions of the world's poor, outcast, ill and dying. Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, in Macedonia, she became a nun and took the name Sister Mary Teresa at the age of 18. In the 1930s, she first travelled to India, which became her home. In the following years, through her Missionaries of Charity, she established an international network of clinics, orphanages and other institutions devoted to helping the poor. In 2016, she was canonised by Pope Francis at a mass attended by tens of thousands. This book collects hundreds of quotations from this determined and inspirational woman. In the half-century of her public life, she visited and spoke in more than 100 countries about the subjects closest to her heart. In the simple but profound words gathered here, Mother Teresa reflects on the meaning of love, the importance of charity, the need for prayer, the value of family and the absolute dignity of every human being. Also included is a selection of quotations from world leaders, dignitaries and religious figures describing Mother Teresa's powerful legacy of faith, compassion and hope for all humanity.
