Who did Mother Teresa rush to bring medicine to?
Mother Teresa was neither a doctor nor a nurse and had no access to medicines to take to anyone. She provided comfort and care to the dying.
Answer
In the aftermath of the accident in 1990, when two people were killed by the ambulance in which Mother Teresa was travelling, the office of the Missionaries of Charity said she had taken medicines to the hospital run by her order, but did not say whether the medicines were urgent or for which patient they were intended. In any case, the policy of the order was to provide comfort and care, not to save lives by providing medicines. At the time of the accident, Mother Teresa was travelling home in the ambulance, so there was no urgency.
How does Khushwant Singh portray Mother Teresa's becoming the favourite of Calcutta?
Khushwant Singh has written a fine article about Mother Teresa describing how she became the beloved of Calcutta. She was the celebrated Ugoslavian missionary who founded the Missionaries Of Charity in Calcutta and was later honoured with the Nobel Prize and the Bhaarath Rathna. She took up missionary work at the very early age of Twelve. To her it was a work of love, just like being married to Christ. She said, we are never too young to love, it was just like a girl getting ready to get married. She went to India and became a school principal there. Once, while travelling to Darjeeling, she said she got a call from God, asking her to serve the poor. Thus she started the Missionaries Of Charity in Calcutta in Bengal. Poverty, chastity, obedience and free service are the four vows of her Order. They have to remain poor, show chastity to God, be obedient to God and render free service to all. Her institutions take in destitutes and lepers to care. Their day begins with a very early morning prayer and ends with another. Wearing a blue bordered white sari, she controlled everything like a mother and almost became an Indian.
The Catholic Mother starting a Charity Home very near to the Goddess Kaali's Temple in Calcutta angered the caste Hindus there. They surrounded her with weapons and she faced them boldly. She asked them to kill her if they wanted, but never to disturb the inmates who were dying in peace. One day a T.B-affected priest enjoyed her nursing and exclaimed: "For Thirty years I have served Goddess Kaali in her temple, and now the Goddess stands before me." Within a short period, Calcutta people's attitude towards her changed to affection, ardence and respect. People willingly helped her with funds. Becoming a member of Mother Teresa's organization became much valued in Calcutta. The former Bengal Chief Minister Dr. B.C.Roy was a great admirer of Mother. She could visit his office any time without notice.

When was Mother Teresa's contribution to society made?
.
Catholic AnswerBlessed Mother Teresa began to teach in India in 1929, she was a solemnly professed sister of the Sisters of Loretto. In 1948, she received permission from the Vatican to leave her Order and began work in India as Missionary of Charity, the next year she started training her first sisters for this new Order. Blessed Mother Teresa died in 1997, has been beatified and, as of 2012, is under investigation for canonization.Did Mother Teresa fully achieve what she planned?
Most definitely yes, the only thing that St. Teresa of Calcutta ever planned was to fulfill God's Will. If and when we fulfill God's Will we go to heaven, which is exactly where St. Teresa is now.
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.
