About this book

Español

¿Quién fue la Madre Teresa?

Nacida en la humilde Albania, Agnes Bojaxhiu llevó una vida caritativa. Se unió a una orden religiosa a los 18 años y eligió el nombre de Hermana Teresa, en honor a la santa patrona de los misioneros. Mientras enseñaba en la India, donde la hambruna y la violencia habían devastado a los pobres, Teresa se despojó del hábito y recorrió las calles de Calcuta atendiendo las necesidades de los desposeídos. Su labor caritativa pronto se expandió internacionalmente, y su nombre sigue siendo sinónimo de compasión y devoción por los pobres.

English

Who was Mother Theresa?

Born a humble girl in what is now Albania, Agnes Bojaxhiu lived a charitable life. She pledged herself to a religious order at the age of 18 and chose the name Sister Teresa, after the patron saint of missionaries. While teaching in India, where famine and violence had devastated the poor, Teresa shed her habit and walked the streets of Calcutta tending to the needs of the destitute. Her charity work soon expanded internationally, and her name remains synonymous with compassion and devotion to the poor.
