Agnes Remembered
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu died on this day in 1997, widely regarded throughout the world as a saint.
You’ve no idea who she is, do you?
She famously said “By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.”
Now do you know? Perhaps you know her by name she took when she became a nun.
Today is the feast of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, celebrated by her Missionaries of Charity and by others touched by her life and her example of unconditional charity.
God called Agnes to a life lived wholly for others, and for the poorest of people. What does He call YOU to?
