SUMMARY:Movie Forum "Mother Teresa" film showing

The movie examines the fundamental moments of Mother Teresa’s life from her childhood in Albania in the 1920s to her first calling as a nun\, the decision to leave her order and live with the poorest of the poor\, the challenges of founding the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity\, and her great work of service in Calcutta and the rest of the world. \n\n\n\n“A shrewd diplomat and an indomitable force\, Mother Teresa was unwilling to accept what others deemed impossible\, fearlessly fighting for the unloved and the forgotten. She was regarded as one of the most significant personalities of the twentieth century\, although she never owned more than a white and blue sari. She influenced the decisions of the most powerful men on Earth\, although she always stayed close to the poorest people of the world. \n\n\n\n“The film follows her through the slums of Calcutta as she mingled closely with her people\, dispensing help\, joy\, and smiles to everyone\, and also shows her stubbornness with the people who wanted to block her way. \n\n\n\nHer faith and loving works transcended hardships and ultimately earned her international acclaim\, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The many small miracles\, great charity\, and humble triumphs of Mother Teresa will inspire you in this poignant tale of a modern-day saint.”
