Mother Theresa of Calcutta
It’s Christmas
Christmas poem
Text translated into English
It’s Christmas every time
you smile to a brother
and you offer your hand.
It’s Christmas every time
you keep silent
to listen to the other person.
It’s Christmas every time
you do not accept those principles
that push the oppressed
to the margins of society.
It’s Christmas every time
you hope with those who despair
in physical and spiritual poverty.
It’s Christmas every time
you recognize with humility
your limits and your weakness.
It’s Christmas every time
you allow the Lord to be born again,
so you can donate it to others.

Mother Theresa of Calcutta
Mother Theresa of Calcutta – Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), honoured in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary.
In 1950, mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that had over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012. The congregation manages homes for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. It also runs soup kitchens, dispensaries, mobile clinics,
children’s and family counselling programmes, as well as orphanages and schools. Members take vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, and also profess a fourth vow – to give “wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.
Mother Theresa of Calcutta received a number of honors, including the 1962 Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize and 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. Mother Theresa was canonised on 4 September 2016, and the anniversary of her death (5 September) is her feast day.
