Let me answer your question with a story that has been around for years:
One day a man was walking on a beach when he saw another man coming the other way who appeared to be dancing. As he drew nearer he could see the man was not dancing but was gently picking up starfish from the beach and throwing them back into the sea.
"Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?" He asked.
"Because they have been washed ashore, the day is getting hot and if I do not throw them back they will die." Replied the dancer.
The man looked around him and saw that the beach went on for miles and that there were many thousands of starfish along its length.
"But there are too many" he protested to the dancer "you can't possibly make a difference."
The dancer smiled, picked up another starfish and gently tossed it beyond the waves, back into the sea.
"I made a difference to that one!" he said."
So, we might not see the changes that Mother Teresa made to the world and might not have even noticed if she had never existed. However, she made a difference in the lives hundreds of thousands of people - one at a time.
Why was Mother Teresa's work so important?
Mother Teresa was important because she would dedicate her life to helping and improving others lives.

Catholic AnswerThe 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 nun who entered the Sisters of Loretto in Ireland to become a teaching nun, 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 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.
AnswerTo honor and serve God and to always treat the poor.
It was important because she felt as if she was helping people, and she was. And also it was an important job because no-one else would have done it. And the best thing about it all was that she wanted to do it as well. It wasn't like it was a chore.
AnswerShe helped persons who suffered from leprosy. Leprosy is a kind of a communicative disease in which if one touches the person who is affected from leprosy he will also get the disease. So she was the one who helped the poor
What was the role that Mother Teresa played in society?

The various concrete way that she did that was that she 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 nuns 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.
AnswerWell she did a variety of things like run orphanages and places for old crippled people who were the "unwanted" of society so they could die peacefully and respectably. i think she may have helped or opened some special hospitals, but you should look that up for yourself. the one thing that helped her along through it all was relying on God for the finances and resources to keep moving forwardshe gave her life to god that's one and she built orphanages and built like houses so people can stay peacfully
She helped people all around the world.
people should have peace
well she changed many lives and from this day on the world wouldn't be like this if Mother Teresa did do something back then.
she has helped nearly everyone and she is a very good person and she deserves alot of credit with what she has done to people
Mother Teresa helped the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying children and people. she opened up orphanages all around the world and did most of her work in Calcutta helping people in the slums.
Two websites you might try are listed below:
they were helping other people
She created multiple orphanages around the world.
She was important because she helped lots of people and looked after them and made them better if they were ill. She also founded an orphanage for people without homes and those without parents.
What was Mother Teresa's highest level of education?
A:
Mother Teresa began her career as a teacher, and had no medical qualifications. In fact one of her failings is that she simply did not understand basic health care. She provided hospices that allowed poor people to die with dignity, but many of her patients could have been cured with basic medical care and low cost medications, allowing them to return to their families. In fact, she even refused the low-cost medication that could have eased suffering for those in acute pain, believing that it was God's will that they suffer. A great many of her patients were Hindus, and her greatest wish was that they be baptised as Christians before dying.
Answer:
Mother Teresa had no qualifications in heath care or social work. However, she spoke five languages and was a really great communicator and fundraiser. The success of her missions was based on Mother Teresa's ability to keep donations coming in.
Catholic Answer:
She began her missionary work with the poor in 1948 and spent a few months in Patna to receive a basic medical training in the Holy Family Hospital and then ventured out into the slums. Initially she started a school in Motijhil (Calcutta) but soon she started tending to the needs of the destitute and starving. Her main objective in those early years was to provide a hospice where those left to die in the gutters could be brought where they could be cared for in their final hours surrounded by people who cared about them. It was not a medical facility and was never claimed to be as Mother Teresa had no one on her staff who could provide more than basic care. Her first years were fraught with difficulties. She had no income and had to resort to begging for food and supplies. It was not until 1969 when the documentary Something Beautiful for God, was filmed and released by Malcolm Muggeridge and his 1971 book of the same title that donations started pouring in from around the world. As money came in, Mother Teresa was able to expand her work and provide more than rudimentary care. See Discussion for more information on Mother Teresa's work and the difficulties she experienced.
Why did Mother Teresa leave the Sisters of Loreto in India?
She left to found a new order - the Missionaries of Charity - to minister to the poor of India.
How is the Virgin Mary different from Mother Teresa?
A:
Mother Teresa was a real, historical person. There are serious doubts as to whether Moses was a real, historical person - over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.
Answer:
Mother Teresa was Roman Catholic. Moses was Israelite (what is now called Jewish).
What contribution did Mother Teresa make for peace?
I think bcz :
Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which in 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters and is active in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; children's and family counseling programmes; orphanages; and schools. Members of the order must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, and the fourth vow, to give "Wholehearted and Free service to the poorest of the poor".
Mother Teresa showed peace by.......being kind and nice

Why did Mother Teresa change her name to Sister Teresa?
Originally, she wanted the name Therese for Therese of Lisieux but the name was already being used by another sister of the order. She chose to use the Spanish spelling of the name instead - Teresa.
Did Mother Teresa help people all around the world?
A:
First of all, Mother Teresa opened several small-scale hospices, orphanages and schools in India and some other countries around the world. However, the main focus for Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity has been on spreading the Catholic faith, with convents and missions now located in over a hundred countries all around the world. This is in keeping with Mother Teresa's statement, "We are not nurses, we are not doctors, we are not teachers, we are not social workers. We are religious, we are religious, we are religious."
What order of new nuns did Mother Teresa start?
Mother Teresa founded the Missionary Sisters of Charity. Actually, the Missionaries of Charity are not just sisters. The group also has priests, brothers and lay volunteers who are both Catholic and non Catholic.
How did Mother Teresa become well known?
Mother Teresa became famous by helping poor and everyone said to come and help her.
Catholic AnswerMother became famous because she cooperated 100% with the Will of God for her, and you cannot help but make a visible difference when your partner in life is God!
The answer is not obvious to modern people as they did not understand Mother Theresa (as of 2013, she is Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, with another miracle, she will be St. Teresa of Calcutta) because they do not understand real Christianity. Blessed Theresa of Calcutta, 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.
