A Pope and a Saint: John Paul II and Mother Teresa of Calcutta

A tribute to our Blessed Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.

A Pope and a Saint: John Paul II and Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa put it this way: "Whatever you do for your family, for your children, for your husband, for your wife, you do for God Let no one ever come away from you, without coming away better and happier All we do, our prayers, our work, our suffering, is for Jesus. Our life has no other reason or motivation."

She urged everyone who sought her advice on how to live a good and holy life to "do something beautiful for Jesus every day."

She was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 19 October 2003, placing her one step from sainthood in the Catholic faith; after beatification she became known as the Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata... Though her parents were ethnic Albanians, Mother Teresa was born in what is now Macedonia and what was then part of the Ottoman Empire. Some sources give her date of birth as August 26th, not August 27th.

Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II are ordinary people to whom God bestowed extraordinary gifts and talents, above all the gifts of invincible love, ardent charity and unshakable faith. In order to understand these two outstanding personalities of our time, it is good to see their background and many other things that pertain to their lives and future missions; the similarities are astounding.

Both lost one parent at the age of 9: Karol lost his mother on April 13, 1929; Agnes lost her father in 1919.

Both the Holy Father and Mother Teresa are so devoted to Our Lady, especially to Our Lady of Fatima, that is, the Immaculate Heart of Mary. For both the Rosary has been one of the strongest weapons to attack the evil of atheistic regimes that destroyed peace and unity in the world. In fact, the Missionary Sisters of Charity of Calcutta was founded on October 7, 1950, the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

@ShqiptariAL "she got a nobel price for peace what are u gonna do now?"

Obama got one of those after he declared an increase in war to Afghanistan. I spit on the nobel peace prize for what it is. Bullshit.

@ShqiptariAL As Hitchens once said, Mother Teresa is the most successful con artist in the history of the world. All she did was house dying people in decrepit old buildings ("houses for the dying"). No beds, no proper medical care, habitual reuse of syringes, and NO ANALGESICS. That's the worst part--she was a depraved fundamentalist fanatic who had a fetish for human suffering. She was a prize showdog for the Catholic church, and she was happy to bring suffering to thousands. It makes me SICK.

@ShqiptariAL Can you the claims made against Mother Teresa? Don't just do something because that's what you've always done and because that's what you've been told to do. Think for yourself.
