Mother Teresa, whose real name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was Born

Republic of Macedonia. While growing up, she was impressed ____________ the
missionary work of the Sisters of Loreto, who taught English to children

their abbey in Ireland. She took the first steps to becoming a nun
______________1928, at which time she also changed her name to Sister Teresa.
The following year, she was sent to Calcutta, India, to teach at St. Mary's High
School, a Catholic institute for girls. Although her students came from wealthy
families, St. Mary's was located close __________ some very poor
neighbourhoods. Sister Teresa was appalled by conditions ____________ there,
so, in 1947, she obtained the Pope's permission to leave her convent and
established a school to help the area's underprivileged. Then, in 1950, she
organized the order of the Missionaries of Charity, which she led until her death
almost fifty years later.

Under Mother Teresa's guidance, the Missionaries of Charity offered free care
services, including health care, food and education to Calcutta's needy. Soon, she
opened centres for the elderly, the blind and the physically handicapped. A truly
remarkable lady, she became known as the "Saint of the Gutters", and received
numerous awards for her humanitarian efforts. Both India and America, for
instance, awarded her their highest civilian honours. Moreover, she became the
subject of a best selling biography by Malcolm Muggeridge, "Something Beautiful
for God" and, ____________ 1979, received the Nobel Peace Prize. 
Like all people in the public eye,Mother Teresa was not without her critics. Her pro-
life views, for example, often put her at odds with those who favoured a woman's
right to have an abortion. However, even her critics couldn't deny the goodness of
her heart or her dedication to the less fortunate of this world. By the time of her
death ___________ Sept. 5, 1997, her Missionaries of Charity were operating 610
missions _________ 123 countries.
