00:00Today, September 5, the church celebrates Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta,
00:07known worldwide as an icon of charity and compassion towards the poorest.
00:13On this day, other figures are also commemorated, such as Saint Lawrence Justinian,
00:18Patriarch of Venice, but it is the luminous memory of Mother Teresa which dominates and which has
00:23profoundly marked the 20th century. Mother Thérésa was born on August 26, 1910 in Scopier,
00:30then in the Ottoman Empire, in an Albanian Catholic family. Baptized under the name
00:35of Angézé Gongche Bojaxiu, she grew up in a deeply Christian home where faith,
00:41charity and welcoming the poor held a central place. Her father died when she was only
00:47only 8 years old, leaving his mother to raise the children alone. From his adolescence, Angézé felt a
00:53missionary call. She wants to give her life to the service of Christ and the most deprived.
00:58At the age of 18, she left her native land to go to Ireland and join the Sisters.
01:04of Laurette. Shortly after, she was sent to India, to Calcutta, where she took her religious vows
01:10and takes the name Thérésa, in homage to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. She begins by teaching
01:16in a school run by the Sisters of Laurette, living a regular consecrated religious life
01:22to the education of young girls. But in 1946, during a train journey, she saw
01:28what she will call "the call within the call." She hears in her heart the voice of Christ
01:34who asks him to leave the relative security of his congregation to go and serve the most
01:39poor among the poor, those who live and die abandoned in the streets of Calcutta.
01:44Theresa obeyed, left the convent and devoted herself entirely to the underprivileged. In 1950,
01:52She founded the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity, whose charism is simple
01:57and radical, to serve the poorest for free, seeing in them the face of the suffering Christ.
02:03The Sisters wear the white saris bordered in blue, which has become a worldwide symbol of their mission.
02:09Very quickly, the community spread throughout the world. Their apostolate was concentrated
02:14on the dying, the sick, the lepers, the orphans, the rejected of society.
02:21Mother Teresa then becomes a familiar face of the Gospel lived concretely. We see her
02:26to take in the dying from the street, to give a smile to abandoned children,
02:31bending over lepers, always with infinite tenderness. She likes to repeat that the most
02:37Great poverty is not material, but spiritual. Loneliness, lack of love,
02:42the feeling of being unwanted by no one. Her fame grew rapidly. In 1979,
02:49She received the Nobel Peace Prize, but remained disarmingly humble. When asked about her
02:54Asked how to change the world, she simply replies, “Start by loving your family.”
02:58His life is marked by a radical fidelity to Christ and by a charity lived daily,
03:03without grandiloquent speeches, but by small gestures repeated a thousand times. However,
03:08Behind her luminous smile, Mother Teresa went through a deep inner night. Her
03:13Spiritual writings published after her death reveal that she lived for decades in an impression
03:18of silence and absence of God. And yet, she continued to serve, to love, to give herself,
03:24demonstrating a strong faith, purified in the trial. She died on September 5, 1997,
03:31at the age of 87, in Calcutta. His state funeral in India drew huge crowds.
03:37Her legacy is immense. More than 5,000 missionary nuns of charity, present in all
03:42continents, continue her work today. Beatified by John Paul II in 2003, she is
03:48canonized by Pope Francis in 2016, who proclaimed her Saint Teresa of Calcutta, model of
03:54mercy and charity. His message remains burningly relevant. What matters is not
04:01how much we give, but how much love we put into what we give. On this September 5th,
04:06Let us pray to Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Let us ask her for the grace of a heart attentive to the little ones,
04:11with a gaze capable of seeing in every person, even the most fragile, the face of Christ.
04:24Saint Teresa of Calcutta.
