Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
Presented by:
3rd Grade
Mother Teresa lived from 1910-1997. She founded a religious
order of sisters called the
Missionaries of Charity
who serve Jesus in the sick, dying, orphaned
and the hungry.
She did most of her work in Calcutta,
India but her sisters now work with the “poorest of the
poor” all over the world.
Mother Teresa loved little children and helped many who had no one to care for them.
She opened homes for the dying, cared for the starving and nursed the
sick.
While she did amazing work with the people whom no one else wanted to
help, she did not see her work as
anything great.
Mother Teresa loved St. Therese and
followed her “Little Way” of doing
small things with great
love!
“ It is not how much we do
but how much lovewe put in the doing
that makes our offering something beautiful for
God.”
The key to Mother’s ministry was her strong prayer life.
We should pray everyday too!
Mother Teresa became very
famous all over the world for
her work. She met with
presidents and world leaders.
She won many medals and awards.
But none of that was important to her.
Everything she did was for Jesus.
“All we do– our prayer, our work, our suffering– is for Jesus. Our life
has no other reason or motivation.”
Right now, our class decided we are not called to live as radical a lifestyle as Mother Teresa, but that does not mean we cannot
follow her example.
We brainstormed what we could do here in our own
school to be like her and be more Christ like.
Mother Teresa inspires us to do
“ordinary things with extraordinary love”
Small things…
GREAT LOVE!
Here is what we came up with…
Share what you have with others!
Be helpful!
Play nicely!
Help someone who is hurt!
Help classmates when they drop something!
Include everyone!
Give people what they need!
Be a peacemaker!
Donate to the food pantry!
Do the right thing even when no one is watching!
Follow the saints and they will lead you to
heaven!
and remember…
Small things…
Great Love!!
Blessed Teresa, pray for us!
