Mother Theresa helped the poor because she made them a school and gave them some comfort.

.

Catholic AnswerBy doing the Will of God: The answer is not obvious to modern people as they did not understand Mother Theresa, because they do not understand real Christianity. Mother Theresa, a Catholic sister who entered the Sisters of Loretto in Ireland to become a teaching sister, was sent to India to teach. Later, moved with compassion, and the love of God, she received a "call" from God to help the poorest of the poor. The rest of her life was spent in "darkness" which I discuss below.

.

Modern people, and most people who call themselves Christians, think that going to Church on Sunday, saying some things, and being nice to people is what it is all about. They are completely missing the mark. Those kind of things are just the tip of the iceberg. Mother Teresa helped others by loving God above all things, putting Him first in her life, and doing His Will no matter how painful it was for her, and it was very painful.

.

Mother spent most of her life in a dark night with no real feeling or personal knowledge of God. This is very common with the founders of religious orders, they are strong enough in their faith to make their way through life totally depend on Faith, Hope, and Charity: the three cardinal virtues bestowed on us in Baptism. She sacrificed herself completely for God, and was called a saint and a prophet for it.

.

Mother Theresa helped others the way we are all called to help others, by getting up in the morning, and taking some time to give to God first. She spend an hour in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, went to Holy Mass, received Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist, and went to confession frequently, and regularly. And, then, when she had done these things, she went out and lived her faith by seeing her God in every individual in front of her, especially the poor, the sick, the aged, and the abandoned. She served God by serving Him in them - which is nothing more nor less than she lived the Gospel with every breath in her body.

.

Mother Teresa showed compassion for those who were less fortunate than she was. She gave them food, lifted their spirits, and helped them survive. She is and was considered a hero to many people. After her death, she was put on the short list for canonization, and in 2012 I believe she has already had one miracle attributed to her, and has been beatified. Of course, she loved children.

.

The Church often says that the only real way to help people, the way to become a good spouse, parent, teacher, or whatever, is to become a saint. Mother Teresa believed and lived this. She helped the poor by becoming a saint.

.

The various ways that she accomplished that was that she always did the Will of God even when she didn't feel as if God was there or approving of her. She cared for the poorest of the poor.

She established hospices and hospitals for the sick and dying, she started in Calcutta as she started a new religious order, the Missionaries of Charity, which spread throughout the world. Today the Order still cares for the poorest of the poor, the sick and dying. Mother Theresa and her sisters went out into the streets and picked up the dying homeless to bring them to her hospice. They clean them, feed them, pray with them, and serve them so that they spend their last days or hours in dignity. She and her Order treat those dying of AIDS, the lepers, the untouchables, those whom nobody else will love and care for. She saw Our Blessed Lord in everyone of them, in disguise, pleading for our help and love. She treated them as she would treat Our Blessed Lord, Himself.

.

AnswerShe cared for them, loved them and supported them through everything

Mother Teresa was a woman of magic! She collected left overs from meals, and fed them to the orphans and less fortunate. If she found a child lonely, she would do anything to care for them. But she didn't just help the children, she cared for many adults who didn't have sufficient water or food, or shelter. She would pray every night for the sick, or less fortunate. Mother Teresa is one to follow the lead of.She came upon this idea when she was praying to God,she heard a voice of Jesus Christ.Jesus told her that you are the saver of these poor people and should treat them with joy.This saying of Jesus inspired her.

Mother Teresa was a true follower of humanity. Many people considered Mother as the "reincarnated form of Lord Jesus". Mother Teresa devoted her entire life in serving the needy and abandoned people of the society. Although her mission started in India, she succeeded in bringing the people of all societies under one roof, i.e. humanity.

.

Catholic AnswerMother Teresa, first and foremost, was a follower of Our Blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As any good Christian, she tried to deny herself and let Him work in her. She tried to live the message of St. John the Baptist, whose feast we recently celebrated, "I may decrease, and He must increase." All the great saints of the Catholic Church have done exactly the same thing and I believe that her contribution to India was to evidence Our Blessed Lord's love for one and all. To even give one person the dignity that is due them as a child of God is to show God's love and caring, and Mother Teresa did this over and over again, not only through her life, personally, but through the Sisters who followed her. Her contribution to India, and to the world, cannot be measured by any human standard, we can only stand in awe at what God can do when we let Him. In the end, Mother Teresa did very little, she only allowed God to work in her life, and He can move mountains!

Mother Teresa have done a lot of good deeds to everyone. Here are some of the one's she did when she was alive:

  • In 1952 Mother Teresa opened the first Home for the Dying in space made available by the city of Calcutta (Kolkata). With the help of Indian officials she converted an abandoned Hindu temple into the Kalighat Home for the Dying, a free hospice for the poor. She renamed it Kalighat, the Home of the Pure Heart (Nirmal Hriday).
  • As the Missionaries of Charity took in increasing numbers of lost children, Mother Teresa felt the need to create a home for them. In 1955 she opened the Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, the Children's Home of the Immaculate Heart, as a haven for orphans and homeless youth.
  • Mother Teresa soon opened a home for those suffering from Hansen's disease, commonly known as leprosy, and called the hospice Shanti Nagar (City of Peace).
  • The Missionaries of Charity also established several leprosy outreach clinics throughout Calcutta, providing medication, bandages and food.
  • Mother Teresa rescued 37 children trapped in a front line hospital by brokering a temporary cease-fire between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas.
  • Mother Teresa traveled to assist and minister to the hungry in Ethiopia, radiation victims at Chernobyl, and earthquake victims in Armenia.

Despite what others may say, Mother Teresa's work was never centered on converting others to Catholicism. In 1984 Pope John Paul II told her that she must also evangelize. Mother Teresa tried to argue against this but, ultimately, she was under a vow of obedience and had to comply. However, her the main work of her order of missionaries continues to be ministering to the poor.

In spite of widespread perceptions to the contrary, most of the work carried out by the Missionaries of Charity, the order founded by Mother Teresa, has been in seeking converts to the Catholic faith.


Although the name "Mother Teresa" was and is tied to the city of Calcutta, the Missionaries of Charity was never one of the largest or most effective charities there in spite of having the most money. It provided no more than a few hundred beds for the destitute and dying, a few small schools throughout India and a token amount of food relief compared to the larger charities working in Calcutta and India generally. Elsewhere in the world, little charity work is carried out by the order, with the emphasis being on spreading the faith. According to reports, none of the eight facilities that the Missionaries of Charity run in Papua New Guinea have any residents in them, being purely for the purpose of converting local people to Catholicism.
