Mother Teresa's quote

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (Albanian: ) and commonly known as Mother Teresa of Calcutta (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), was an Albanian–born Indian Roman Catholic nun. "By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus." In late 2003, she was beatified, the third step toward possible sainthood. A second miracle credited to Mother Teresa is required before she can be recognized as a saint by the Catholic church. Mother Teresa was fluent in five languages, Bengali, the local language of the people of Calcutta (Kolkata), English, Albanian, Serbo-Croat, and Hindi.
