She summed it up quite nicely when she said "The dying, the crippled, the mentally ill, the unwanted, the unloved -- they are Jesus in disguise. " She also believed that her works of compassion and charity should not be used to convert others. "We never try to convert those who receive [aid from Missionaries of Charity] to Christianity but in our work we bear witness to the love of God's presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men -- simply better -- we will be satisfied. It matters to the individual what church he belongs to. If that individual thinks and believes that this is the only way to God for her or him, this is the way God comes into their life -- his life. If he does not know any other way and if he has no doubt so that he does not need to search then this is his way to salvation."
Her six steps to creating peace are: silence, prayer, faith, love, service, and peace. For those who don't know if they believe much in anything, Mother Teresa suggested they try small acts of love toward others.
Quite a remarkable woman and worthy of her sainthood.

1 She died a few years ago, so it should be "guided."
2 She worked in India among the extreme poor and those with leprosy.
3 Her work was guided by the belief that all are equal before God. Specifically, loving God requires us to love not only those like ourselves, but everyone on the planet... and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
... adapted from her terse statement to a friend who interviewed her a few years before her death.

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God. - Mother Teresa

verify Wikipedia. do no longer hardship, each and every article devoid of huge tag on appropriate that asserts "this text would not grant adequate materials" is effective. only scroll to the backside to locate the information the object became in line with. Who says you could no longer use Wikipedia as a source?! - common Wikipedia contributor

Mother Theresa was a true Christian who helped the victims of leprosy, illiteracy and poverty for most of her life. She made a vow to be a poor bride of Christ and gave up everything to help the victimized in India. She was canonized as a saint.

She believed that sickness and suffering brought pity from God, which sadly meant that people under her care suffered a lot--often unnecessarily.

She was a Roman Catholic nun who believed that she saw Jesus in the face of every leper and every orphan that she served. Helping people was her way of serving God which is exactly what Jesus taught.
"Whatever you have done for the least of these brothers of mine, you have done for me"
- Jesus in Matthew 25:40
