Mother Teresa
This
powerful and inspiring film is considered the definitive portrait of the 1979
Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mother Teresa. Shot on the run over a period of five
years in ten countries on four continents,
this award-winning film follows Mother Teresa into the world’s most troubled
spots. From the war in Beirut to Guatemala under siege, from the
devastated streets of Calcutta to the ghettoes of the South Bronx, the film is
an experience of the way Mother Teresa transcends all political, religious and
social barriers with her works of love.

Bl. Teresa
of Calcutta
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, the future Mother Teresa, was born on 26 August 1910, in
Skopje, Macedonia, to Albanian heritage. Her father, a well-respected local
businessman, died when she was eight years old, leaving her mother, a devoutly
religious woman, to open an embroidery and cloth business to support the family.
After spending her adolescence deeply involved in parish activities, Agnes left
home in September 1928, for the Loreto Convent in Rathfarnam (Dublin), Ireland,
where she was admitted as a postulant on October 12 and received the name of
Teresa, after her patroness, St. Therese of Lisieux.
Agnes was sent by the Loreto order to India and arrived in Calcutta on 6 January
1929. Upon her arrival, she joined the Loreto novitiate in Darjeeling. She made
her final profession as a Loreto nun on 24 May 1937, and hereafter was called
Mother Teresa. While living in Calcutta during the 1930s and '40s, she taught in
St. Mary's Bengali Medium School.
Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, Mother Teresa expanded the work of the
Missionaries of Charity both within Calcutta and throughout India. On 1 February
1965, Pope Paul VI granted the Decree of Praise to the Congregation, raising it
to pontifical right. The first foundation outside India opened in Cocorote,
Venezuela, in 1965. The Society expanded to Europe (the Tor Fiscale suburb of
Rome) and Africa (Tabora, Tanzania) in 1968.
From the late 1960s until 1980, the Missionaries of Charity expanded both in
their reach across the globe and in their number of members. Mother Teresa
opened houses in Australia, the Middle East, and North America, and the first
novitiate outside Calcutta in London. In 1979 Mother Teresa was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize. By that same year there were 158 Missionaries of Charity
foundations.
The Missionaries of Charity reached Communist countries in 1979 with a house in
Zagreb, Croatia, and in 1980 with a house in East Berlin, and continued to
expand through the 1980s and 1990s with houses in almost all Communist nations,
including 15 foundations in the former Soviet Union. Despite repeated efforts,
however, Mother Teresa was never able to open a foundation in China.
Mother Teresa spoke at the fortieth anniversary of the United Nations General
Assembly in October 1985. On Christmas Eve of that year, Mother Teresa opened
"Gift of Love" in New York, her first house for AIDS patients. In the
coming years, this home would be followed by others, in the United States and
elsewhere, devoted specifically for those with AIDS.
From the late 1980s through the 1990s, despite increasing health problems,
Mother Teresa traveled across the world for the profession of novices, opening
of new houses, and service to the poor and disaster-stricken. New communities
were founded in South Africa, Albania, Cuba, and war-torn Iraq. By 1997, the
Sisters numbered nearly 4,000 members, and were established in almost 600
foundations in 123 countries of the world.
After a summer of traveling to Rome, New York, and Washington, in a weak state
of health, Mother Teresa returned to Calcutta in July 1997. At 9:30 PM, on 5
September, Mother Teresa died at the Motherhouse. Her body was transferred to
St. Thomas's Church, next to the Loreto convent where she had first arrived
nearly 69 years earlier. Hundreds of thousands of people from all classes and
all religions, from India and abroad, paid their respects. She received a state
funeral on 13 September, her body being taken in procession - on a gun carriage
that had also borne the bodies of Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru -
through the streets of Calcutta. Presidents, prime ministers, queens, and
special envoys were present on behalf of countries from all over the world.
