Mother
Teresa
Nobel Prize Winner/
Missionary
1910-1997
Born in what is now
Skopje, Macedonia, the
Roman Catholic nun
inspired millions while
laboring to fulfill her
mission on behalf of the
world's poor. She
founded the Missionaries
of Charity, which is still
dedicated to the relief
of human suffering.
Eternally faithful and
discounting her own
importance, Mother
Teresa humbly accepted
the Nobel Peace Prize in
1979 for her tireless work
among the downtrodden
and dying.

It is a poverty to decide that
