She moved to Ireland and then India, where she spent the majority of her life, after living in Skopje for eighteen years. Teresa founded Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that welcomed over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012.
The congregation cares for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and tuberculosis.
It also operates soup kitchens, dispensaries, cell clinics, children's and family counseling services, as well as orphanages and schools.
Members promise chastity, poverty, and obedience, as well as a fourth vow: to provide "fully free assistance to the poorest of the poor." "Teresa received a number of awards, including the 1962 Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize and the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
She was canonized on September 4, 2016, and her feast day (5 September) is held. Teresa was admired by many throughout her life and after her death for her charitable work.
She was lauded and chastised on several fronts, including her views on abortion and condomation, and she was chastised for poor living conditions in her households.
Navin Chawla's authorized biography was published in 1992 and was released in 1992, and she has appeared in films and other books.
Teresa and St. Francis Xavier were elected co-patrons of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Calcutta on September 6, 2017.
Spiritual life
Pope John Paul II, analysing her deeds and successes, asked "Where did Mother Teresa have the confidence and courage to place herself completely at the service of others?" "She found it in prayers and in the slumbery of Jesus Christ's Holy Face, his Sacred Heart." Mother Teresa, a woman who lived for nearly 50 years, suffered with doubts and despair in her religious convictions, which lasted almost half a lifetime, until her death. Mother Teresa expressed serious reservations about God's existence and remorbation over her lack of faith.
Other saints (including Teresa's namesake Thérèse of Lisieux, who called it a "night of nothingness") had similar experiences of spiritual dehydration. These questions, according to James Langford, were normal and would not be an obstacle to canonization.
Mother Teresa wrote of a brief period of renewed hope after ten years of doubt. She was praying for him at a requiem mass when she was relieved of "the long shadow: the strange suffering" after Pope Pius XII's death in 1958. However, five weeks later, her spiritual debility returned.
Mother Teresa wrote many letters to her confessors and superiors over a 66-year career, most notably to Calcutta Archbishop Ferdinand Perez and Jesuit priest Celeste van Exem (her spiritual advisor since the establishment of Missionaries of Charity). She begged that her letters be destroyed, afraid that "more of me will think about me than Jesus."
However, the correspondence was compiled in Mother Teresa's: Come Be My Light. "Jesus has a special love for you," Mother Teresa wrote to spiritual confidant Michael van der Peet. [But] as for me, the silence and emptiness is so full that I cannot see and do not hear – listen and do not hear – but does not speak;] the tongue moves [in prayer] but does not talk. ... I want you to pray for me because [He] gives Him [a] free hand."
Pope Benedict XVI's Deus caritas est (his first encyclical) spoke about Mother Teresa three times and used her life to clarify one of the encyclical's key points: "In Deus caritas est (his first encyclical) "The inexhaustible source of that service is not only the source of that devotion." "It is only by mental and spiritual reading that we can develop the gift of prayer."
Mother Teresa adored Francis of Assisi and was inspired by Franciscan spirituality, despite the fact that her order was not linked to Franciscan orders. At Mass every morning, the Sisters of Charity recite the prayer of Saint Francis, and they emphasize ministry and many of their vows are similar. Francis stressed poverty, chastity, obedience, and surrender to Christ. He devoted a large portion of his life to helping the homeless, particularly lepers.
