Six years ago, on September 5, 2016, a new saint was added to the world, Saint Teresa.
In a special ceremony in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, Pope Francis recognized her two miracles of healing the sick after the death of Mother Teresa in 1997.
She was the third child of parents Kola Bojaxhiu (Nikolle Bojaxhiu), originally from Mirdita and Drane Bojaxhiu (maiden name Barnaj) from Novo Sella e Gjakova. He was born in Skopje, on August 26, 1910.
Mother Teresa left Skopje on September 26, 1928 for Dublin, Ireland. She then settled in Calcutta (India), where she first became a teacher and soon the principal of a girls' school.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta was called when she founded the order "Missionaries of Charity" (1951) to serve the poorest and most hopeless of Calcutta, India and the whole planet.
In 1979, he received the Nobel Peace Prize. She was the mother and guardian of 7,500 children in 60 schools, she was the mother who treated 960,000 sick people in 213 dispensaries, she was the only one in the world who treated 47,000 victims of leprosy in 54 clinics, she took care of 3,400 abandoned elders and left on the streets, in 20 old people's homes, had adopted 160 illegitimate and illegitimate children. These are mid-80s figures. He died in 1997.
Mother Teresa has a lot to teach people, especially the nation where she was born, the Albanian nation.
She never wrote lessons, but taught by concrete example, and yet her sayings are known all over the world.
1- To love means to do small things with great love.
2- Because we cannot see Christ, we cannot express our love for Him, but we always see our neighbors, so we can do for them what we would like to do for Christ, if we could see Him.
3- Don't wait for the leaders. Do things yourself, for each other.
4- Kind words may be short and easy to say, but their echo is truly endless.
5- Sometimes, we think that poverty only means being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, with no one to care for you, that is the greatest poverty. We must start from our homes to end this kind of poverty.
6- Suffering is a great gift from God.
7- We all experience pain and loneliness in life. We must have the courage to recognize them when they come. You can also have the poor in your family. Find it. Love them.
8- We should talk less. A place to pray is not a place for gossip.
9- The poor give us much more than we give them. They are so strong, they live every day without food and never curse, never complain. We don't need to show them mercy or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them.
10- I don't pray for success. I seek the fullness of religion.
11- If you judge people, you don't have time to love them.
12- Speak softly to people! Show kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your smile, always have a cheerful smile! Give not only care, but also heart!
13- We cannot do big things, only small things with great love.
14- It doesn't matter how much we are committed to doing, but how much love we put into it.
15- The poor give us more than we give them. They are such strong people, living day after day without food. And they never curse, nor complain. We should not give them sympathy, but we should learn from them.
16- I have chosen poverty for our poor people. But I am honored to receive the Nobel Prize in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the blind, the sick, those people who are unwanted, nobody loves them, they don't care for them. People who feel abandoned by society and rejected by everyone.
17- If luxury surrounds us, we lose our soul. We will be able to love the poor if we know poverty and are poor ourselves.
18- I have never been in a war before, but I have seen hunger and death. I have wondered what they feel when they do this? I dont understand. They are all sons of God. Why do they do this? I dont understand.
19- God will find another person more noble, more pious, more devoted to him and the society will continue.
20- I was waiting to be free, but God has his plans.
21- What can you do to promote peace in the world? Go home and love your family.
22- We don't need guns and bombs to bring peace to the world, we need love and compassion.
23- Some people come into life as a blessing. Some others come as lessons.
24- It's not just one thing you can do, I can't do something alone either, so let's do something beautiful together.
25- If you are discouraged, this is a sign of pride, because it shows that you have faith in your powers.
26- Always when we meet each other let's smile, smile is the beginning of every love.
27- Not all of us can do great things. But we can all do small things with great love.
28- Smile at each other. To your wife, your husband, your child – it doesn't matter who, it helps you grow in love for each other.
29- If we really want to be loved, we must learn how to forgive.
30- Love begins by taking care of the closest - those at home.
31- The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being without love.
