Mother, Teresa

Mother Teresa

It is not how much we do
but how much love
we put in the doing
that makes our offering
something beautiful for God.

-- MOTHER TERESA

Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in 1910,

Mother Teresa

was called to a religious life at a young age and began her novitiate in 1928. She took the name "Teresa" after Saint Teresa of Lisieux, the patroness of missionaries, and dedicated her entire life to helping the poorest of the poor in India and, later, throughout the world.

Founder of the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, she came to be known as

Mother Teresa

and oversaw thousands of nuns as they ministered to the poor, the starving, and the dying.

Mother Teresa

was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious humanitarian awards, including the United States Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize. She died in Calcutta, India, in 1997 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003. In his homily the pope said, "Let us praise the Lord for this diminutive woman in love with God, a humble Gospel messenger and a tireless benefactor of humanity. In her we honor one of the most important figures of our time. Let us welcome her message and follow her example."

Blessed by Pope John Paul II himself, Demi's

Mother Teresa

is a glorious biography of one of the most beloved women of our time -- a woman whose actions and words will inspire us all.

"If I could, Iâ€™d swim the deep
in search of treasures for you to keep."

From the first rays of the morning sun to the last nod of a tiny head at bedtime, a toddler and mother share a blissfully ordinary day. But there is nothing ordinary about the love between them â€" a love that is as bright as flowers, as lovely as a song, as comforting as stars, and as deep as the ocean.
