She took the name \"Teresa\" after Saint Teresa of Lisieux, the patroness of missionaries, and dedicated her entire life to helping the poorest of the poor in India and, later, throughout the world.\nFounder of the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, she came to be known as Mother Teresa and oversaw thousands of nuns as they ministered to the poor, the starving, and the dying.\nMother Teresa was the recipient of many of the worlds most prestigious humanitarian awards, including the United States Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize. She died in Calcutta, India, in 1997 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003. In his homily the pope said, \"Let us praise the Lord for this diminutive woman in love with God, a humble Gospel messenger and a tireless benefactor of humanity. In her we honor one of the most important figures of our time. Let us welcome her message and follow her example.\"\nBlessed by Pope John Paul II himself, Demis Mother Teresa is a glorious biography of one of the most beloved women of our time -- a woman whose actions and words will inspire us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Margaret K.
