Entering the order when she was just 18, Agnes Bojaxhiu as she was known, joined the Order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto in Ireland. Taking the name Sister Teresa, she found her calling in India on a pilgrimage to Calcutta. It was there that she saw the sick and the dying on the city's streets. She began her lifelong work in Calcutta, founding Missionaries of Charity. Later on, she founded the Kalighat Home for the Dying, ensuring that those dying on the streets of India would not have to die homeless. Mother Teresa continued her work with the dying and homeless until she died from a long illness in 1997.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is beauty, admire it
Life is a dream, realize it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it
Life is a promise, fulfil it
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a struggle, accept it
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it
Life is life, fight for it.
