Mother Teresa's amazing service to the poor and her inner story
Mother Teresa is known for her extraordinary service to the poor, caring for the sick, dying, lepers, and those with AIDS. Her work of charity was not just external, but also internal. She underwent a transformation of her soul, which is less known to many. On September 10th, 1948, Mother Teresa had a dramatic dialogue with God, where she was called to leave everything for the second time in her life. This call led her to start a new religious order, the Missionaries of Charity, dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor. Mother Teresa's story reminds us of the importance of surrendering to God's will, even in the face of fear and uncertainty.
