She was born on August 26,1910. Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu lived in an environment that continually taught her to love and care for her neighbors. Agnes´s parents influenced her by setting tangible examples of their faith. The young girl grew up in a loving home surrounded by prayer, singing, and God. The lessons that she learned in early childhood would ensue in her adult life, and change the world. Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, known as Mother Teresa decides to join the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto, who are very dynamic in India, the country in which Mother Teresa wants to serve God. She is taught how to speak English, and begins to teach in a female secondary school in Calcutta. The Mother is adored by her students because of her consistent concern for them in and out of school. Despite her love for teaching, Mother Teresa knows that God has a different plan for her. He has given her affinity to the poor, suffering, and forgotten. Her heart weeps for the dieing, who are not given a chance to meet the creator in dignity. On September 10, the Mother decides to relocate and live with the poor. This bold decision will transform the lives of many, and her message of love will reach the hearts of millions. This little sister contained so much holiness and intellect, which was present in all her words and actions. In her 1979 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, she explains that the contradiction between ones love for God and neighbor has to be extinguished because, "It is not enough for us to say: ´I love God, but I do not love my neighbor´. Saint John says that you are a liar if you say you love God and you don´t love your neighbor. How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbor whom you see, whom you touch, with whom you live? And so this is very important for us to realize that love, to be true, has to hurt". The pure love that one possesses towards ones neighbor can only be granted to humans by God. For who else gave humans the ability to love? This emotion can shake the hearts of people and destroy evil. Because of its might, love is constantly fought off with tactical arguments and dilutions. One of the many battles the mother took action against was abortion. She explained that, "this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me". Love is a complex emotion, and can truly become visible and understandable through people´s good actions. Mother Teresa said that, "good works are links that form a chain of love". Is humanity forming links of good works? If they are, how come there are wars, abortion, and hate in the world? What does society need to repair its tribulations?
