Mother Teresa and her International Influence

She is not Brittany Spears or Madonna. Probably never entered a boutique, but she is one of the women that mark the path for humanity. It is very possible that her concern for her look was not more than water and soap, but her eyes radiate a special strength. Yes, it is Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the nun with “a heart of iron and silk."

Pope John Paul II receives Mother Teresa in a private audience and he that without ever having studied diplomacy she was the best "ambassador" of the Pope in every nation, forums and meetings of the universe. Indira Gandhi once admitted to the Assembly of the UN: "In the presence of Mother Teresa, all rightly feel a little humiliated and ashamed of ourselves."

She is known as ton of the most powerful woman from the last century. She could deal with the Hindus and Muslins in a country with so many differences of ethnicity and religion . She talked to the British soldiers, prayed for peace with Irish women, and, in the cause of reconciliation, paid a call on the Reverend Ian Paisley, the controversial Protestant leader. She opened a home for Bangladesh women raped by Pakistani soldiers. Mother Teresa's most astonishing and bewildering characteristic is her lack of any sense of indignation.

In her humble way of working for the poorest of the poor, I think she never realized how much power and influence she had in the world. She was always focus in her mission: to bring love to people and make them feel that there is a place in the world for them. In my opinion, her life story and everything that she did I don’t consider her human. For me, she is a kind of creature that God sends to the earth to show us the way that we could go to solve all the problems between nations. Her simply way of talking and solving issues amazed everybody around her, and I don’t think that she realized how many people did she touch and transformed lives with her actions. Mother Teresa died in September 5^th , 1997 and she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta in October 19^th, 2003.
