Something beautiful for God: The life of Mother Teresa |
|
A Roman Catholic Family |
|
 |
The Bojaxhiu family like many of their neighbours were devout Roman Catholics. Religion played an important part in their lives, Mother Teresa recalled 'my mother taught us to love God and to love our neighbours.' Agnes and her sister took part in many church activities. Agnes loved to read about missionaries and about the lives of the saints. Her brother Lazar recalled 'We lived next to the parish church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Sometimes my mother and sisters seemed to live as much in the church as they did at home. They were always involved with the choir, the religious services and missionary topics.' Agnes took a particular interest in stories about missionaries in India and began to dream of becoming a missionary herself. |
