Hillary: "I don't deserve to mention her shoes!" But only China refused her
Recently, when reading a book called "The Story of Mother Theresa," many people may find a nun's story interesting, but you're wrong. She remained unmoved by money throughout her life and spent the rest of her life serving the poor. She has visited China multiple times and humbly requested the establishment of charitable organizations in China to take care of the poor. But Chinese officials refused and told her that there are no poor people in China. If you want to read more such good articles, please add WeChat: ysh2179. She devoted her life to the poor in the world, and countless countries welcomed her. Before her death, she said, "I regret not spreading the gospel to the poor in China. I can only shed tears countless times and pray for the poor in China.".
US Secretary of State Hillary once said that I am not even qualified to help Theresa's mother lift her shoes.
Mother Theresa was born on August 26, 1910. At the age of 12, she aspired to become a nun. At the age of 19, she entered a monastery and was named Sister Theresa. Later, she was sent to India.
Mother Theresa came to India at the age of 18 and never left there again. In the summer of 1952, she found love and dignity for the poor and established a "dying home" in Kolkata, India.
An 18-year-old girl without a fixed residence, all she does every day is push her car through garbage dumps, ditches, church gates, and public building steps, retrieve dying patients, abandoned babies, and elderly people, and then search for food to feed them, medication to treat them, and doctors to help them
Many people saw Mother Teresa pick up a beggar whose leg was eaten by maggots from the ditch, put her forehead on the face of a dying patient, grab a crying baby from the dog's mouth, hold the AIDS patient tightly in her arms, and tell him: Jesus loves you, he is waiting for you in the Heaven Hall
In 1979, Sister Theresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She walked up to the podium wearing an Indian sari worth only one dollar. Whether it's meeting the president or serving the poor, she always wears this dress, and she doesn't have any other clothes. Sitting below is a noble person, wearing sparkling jewelry and possessing a prominent position. She turned a blind eye and only had eyes for the poor. The audience immediately fell silent.
I personally do not deserve this honor. Mother Theresa said, "I accept this award on behalf of all the poor, sick, and lonely people in the world, because I believe you are willing to recognize the dignity of the poor by awarding me an award.".
When she learned that the Nobel Prize ceremony banquet would cost $7000, she begged the chairman to cancel the banquet. She said, "You only used this money to entertain 135 people, which is enough for 15000 people to eat for a day." The banquet was cancelled, and the nun received this money, along with a donation of 400000 Swiss dollars. The Nobel Prize, which everyone admired, was also sold by her, and the proceeds, along with the prize money, were donated to the poor. For her, if these medals are not exchanged for money to serve the poor, they will be of no value.
From Sister Theresa arriving alone in India in 1928 to 1980, her colleagues exceeded 139000 people, distributed around the world. Her colleagues have not received any treatment, not even documents, they do not need these things, their only thing to do is sacrifice and dedication.
The charity missionary nuns association she founded has assets of over 400 million US dollars. However, she lived in poverty all her life, relying solely on two types of appliances: a lamp and a telephone. Her entire fortune consists of a statue of Jesus, three sets of clothing, and a pair of sandals. She strives to become poor, and in order to serve the poorest, her monks and nuns must make themselves poor. Only in this way can the poor they serve feel dignified. In her opinion, giving love and dignity is more important than giving food and clothing.
She has over 600 branches in 127 countries worldwide and develops charitable organizations at the fastest speed and highest efficiency on a global scale. In just one year in 1960, she established 26 shelters and children's homes in India.
But her headquarters only has two nuns and an old-fashioned typewriter. Her office has only one table and one chair. Her job always receives visitors from all over the world: slums, orphanages, hospices, leprosy hospitals, shelters, AIDS shelters... Bankers, big entrepreneurs, politicians, college students, actors, models, wealthy ladies, California governors
