Mother Teresa,was a Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta.
特蕾莎修女,(Mother Teresa of Calcutta),1910年8月27日—1997年9月5日,又称做德兰修女、特里莎修女、泰瑞莎修女),是世界著名的天主教慈善工作者,主要替印度加尔各答的穷人服务。
For over 45 years she ministered in her own way to the poor, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion.
因其一生奉献给解除贫困,而于1979年得到诺贝尔和平奖。
Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
并被教皇约翰•保罗二世在2003年10月列入了天主教宣福名单Beatification。目前德蕾莎修女的名称也变为真福德雷莎修女(Blessed Teresa)。
扩展资料:
她把一切都献给了穷人、病人、孤儿、孤独者、无家可归者和垂死临终者;她从12岁起,直到87岁去世,从来不为自己、而只为受苦受难的人活着。
特蕾莎修女以博爱的精神,默默地关注着贫穷的人,使他们感受到尊重、关怀和爱。特蕾莎修女,没有高深的哲理,只用诚恳、服务而有行动的爱,来医治人类最严重的病源:自私、贪婪、享受、冷漠、残暴、剥削等恶行;也为通往社会正义和世界和平,开辟了一条新的道路。
然而,并非所有印度人对于特蕾莎修女的看法都是一致的。
在加尔各答出生长大、现居于伦敦的批评家查特基Aroup Chatterjee宣称“在加尔各答她从来就不是一个重要的存在”。
查特基指责特蕾莎造成了外界对他的家乡的负面印象,并认为特蕾莎修女时常反对印度民族主义的做法在印度政界造成了不必要的隔阂与摩擦。

Mother Teresa, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated the majority of her life to helping the poorest of the poor in India, thus gaining her the name "Saint of the Gutters." The devotion towards the poor won her respect throughout the world and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She founded an order of nuns called the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India dedicated to serving the poor. Almost 50 years later, the Missionaries of Charity have grown from 12 sisters in India to over 3,000 in 517 missions throughout 100 countries worldwide.
Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Whales, is remembered and respected by people all over the world more for her beauty, kindness, humanity and charitable activities than for her technical skills.
