Children will learn how Mother Teresa began her service in response to a direct call from Jesus--a ministry that continues today in 139 countries with close to 6,000 Missionaries of Charity Sisters serving the poor. In simple, easily understandable language, author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. shares the inspiring story of this modern saint with young Catholic readers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mother Teresa was a kind and loving woman who spent her life helping the poor and sick. She was born in 1910 in a country called Macedonia, and her real name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. When she was young, she felt called by God to help others, so she became a nun and moved to India. In India, Mother Teresa saw many people who were very poor, hungry, and sick, especially in the city of Kolkata. She was on a train making a retreat in a distant city and heard Jesus call her to serve the poorest of the poor. She went on to fund an Order of nuns called the Missionaries of Charity. Together, they opened homes to care for people who had nowhere else to go, offering them food, medicine, and love. Mother Teresa was known for her gentle smile and the way she treated everyone with kindness, no matter how poor they were. She believed that every person is important and deserves to be loved. Her work inspired many people around the world to help others, too. In 1979, she won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the poor. Mother Teresa passed away in 1997, but her legacy of love and care continues to inspire people everywhere. \u003cbr\u003e The following topics and events from the life of Mother Teresa are covered in this title: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Teresa's Childhood \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Teresa's Calling \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Teresa Travels to India \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Teresa's Inspiration \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Teresa Seeks Permission \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The First Missionary Sisters of Charity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The House for the Dying \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Works of Charity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Mission Spreads \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Keeping Faithful to the Call \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Others Are Called \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Gift of Suffering \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Accept Everything with Joy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother Teresa Receives the Nobel Peace Prize \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mother's Health Fails \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e For the Glory of God \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinkler, Jude:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eRev.
