Before You Speak, It Is Necessary For You To Listen, For God Speaks In The Silence Of The Heart.” (Mother Teresa):

In 1979 she was awarded the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE and her position as the world’s greatest champion of the downtrodden was firmly established.
Towards the end of her life she was a friend of kings and presidents world wide but it was the poor she that she chose to spend most of her time travelling to war torn areas such as Beirut, Ethiopia etc. Today Mother Teresa’s work is being carried on by the 3,000 + members of The Sisters of the Charity.
