Biography Mother Teresa

The peaceful course of life was violated, and very soon Mother Teresa had to confirm her determination not to deny God. After the British army occupied the school of the Blessed Virgin Mary under a military hospital, the sisters along with the pupils had to leave Calcutta. The English department was transferred to Simla, the branch of Bengali, at which more than a hundred boarders studied then, sent to a terrain called Morapai.

A few months later, the Bengal branch returned to Calcutt, but there was no place for classes, and even up to a year, the lessons took place in leased classes. As one of the students recalls, the main concerns in those difficult years was taken by Teresa’s mother: “We had to then very tight. Loretan sisters took care of us, and we completely depended on them. Mother Teresa helped us with study.

She did a lot for us in general. When on the monastery road, we had nowhere to study, she went to look for a new place. Soon she managed to find a refuge on Canal Street. It was a house with four large rooms and a hall. Mother Teresa rented rooms, and every morning came there with her students. We stayed there until the evening, washed here, studied, in a word, spent all day, and in the evening, when the classes ended, mother Teresa with us returned to the boarding house.

The nuns who took care of the school became smaller, and household chores now fell upon the mother of Teresa. In addition, she, as before, had to conduct lessons and educate girls. After a few months of overwhelming work, she fell down. But she is on her feet again and works for ten. ” One of the students gives a touching detail: “During the Second World War, we did not have teachers in all classes from the 4th, from the 4th, from the 4th Poles.

Mother Teresa alone led lessons and all the time invented classes for us so that we could overcome and forget fear. ” In addition to the suffering, which war inevitably carries, in years Bengal was seized by hunger, which had carried away about two million lives. There was less food in the boarding house, but Teresa's mother believed: if she swore to God not to refuse him anything, he would not refuse.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Goudown was full of various vegetables. We did not believe our eyes. ” In the year, mother Teresa became the director of the Saint Mary school and, in fact, the abbess of the Congregation of St. Anna Bengal branch of the community of Loretan sisters. She obediently accepted these duties, conscientiously and meticulously performed everything that was required of her, but she was much stricter than to subordinates.

I convinced not so much with a word as an example. For the sake of love for God, she was ready to do anything, suffer, demolish any insults. ” At times, the faithfulness of the vow was pushed by the mother of Teresa to very desperate acts. In August, a conflict broke out between the Indians, the Sikhas and Muslims who inhabited Calcutta. The pogroms began. By the end of the "day of the great massacre," as the bloody event was subsequently called, about five thousand people were lifelessly lying on the streets, how many wounded no one knew.

Life in the city stopped, the products were not brought. There was nothing to feed the pupils and the mother of Teresa dares to leave the monastery “dormer” in search of food: “I went out of the gate. What else could I do if I have hungry pupils. We were not allowed to appear on the streets, but nevertheless I went. The first thing I saw was the bodies, chilled, beaten, twisted, they lay right on the street, in dried blood.

We, behind the walls, were safe. We knew that in the city the riots, people jumped over the wall to hide behind our fence, first Hindu, then the Muslim we accepted both and helped them to hide. When I went outside, I saw that death was all that was left. A truck with soldiers blocked me and it was said that it was forbidden to go out into the street. Then I explained that I was risk, because I have pupils, but we have no food at all.

The soldiers had rice; They brought me to school and unloaded several bags of rice. ” Source: Mother Teresa. Be my light: the diaries and correspondence of the mother of Teresa Calcuttskaya.

We call the solutions to these problems social innovations.

The authors are scrupulously studying books, articles, videos, interviews and share useful materials, forming a collective base of knowledge. An example is an textured unit of information: a non -banal reproducible transformation that is used in the study.

Alas, it is not easy to find it. Since the year, our authors club has collected more than 80 thousand examples. We publish some of them daily here.
