Peace and good! As the Church prepares for the canonization of Mother Teresa of Kolkata on September 4, 2016, I thought you might enjoy the following facts of her life. The following facts were shared by the Norwegian Nobel Committee as they presented the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize to Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa—Questions and Answers:

Question: When and where was Mother Teresa born?

Answer: Mother Teresa was born on 26 August 1910 as Agnes Gonx-ha Bojaxhiu in Skopje in Macedonia, Ottoman Empire. She was bap-tised on 27 August.

Question: What were the names of Mother Teresa's family members?

Answer: Mother Teresa was the third child of Albanian grocer Nikola Bojaxhiu and his wife Drane. She had an older sister, Aga, and an older brother, Lazar. Her father died when she was about eight years old.

Question: Why did Mother Teresa go to India?

Answer: In 1928, when Mother Teresa was 18 years old, she went to Ireland to join the Sisters of Loreto at the Institute of the Blessed Vir-gin Mary, a community of nuns with missions in India. Six weeks later she travelled to India to work as a teacher in the order's school in Calcutta.

Question: What order did Mother Teresa start?

Answer: In 1946 Mother Teresa experienced what she described as a "call within a call", or inspiration, to leave the Loreto convent and devote herself to caring for the sick and poor. She then moved into the slums. In 1950, she received permission from the Vatican to found the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious order of women, dedicated to serving "the poorest of the poor".

Question: Why was she called Mother Teresa?

Answer: When she joined the Irish order Sisters of Loreto, she was given the name Sister Teresa after Saint Thérèse de Lisieux. She be-came Mother Teresa after making her final vows.

Question: Why did Mother Teresa start her own hospice?

Answer: Mother Teresa's "call" was caring for the sick and poor. In 1952, she established a hospice where the terminally ill could die with dignity. At the time of her death, Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity had over 4,000 sisters and hundreds of thousand of volunteers working in hundreds of centers around the world. These included homes for orphaned children, homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leper colonies, and hospices for the terminally ill.

Question: What influenced Mother Teresa?

Answer: In her Nobel Lecture, Mother Teresa said: "I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world." (Nobelprize.org) In the peace of Francis of Assisi,
