My Dear Children: Mother Teresa's Last Message / Mother Teresa, Edited by Hiroshi Katayangi S.J.

Mother Teresa became known to the world for her selfless work with the "poorest of the poor" in Calcutta, India. Born in 1910 in Skopje, now the capital of Macedonia, Mother Teresa began her novitiate in India in 1928. Since its inception in 1950, her order, the Missionaries of Charity, has opened more than 500 centers around the world to help the dying and destitute. Mother Teresa was the recipient of many of the world’s most prestigious humanitarian awards, including the United States Medal of Freedom, the United Nations Albert Schweitzer prize and the Nobel Peace Prize.
