Today's Woman of Character


...is someone I have admired, literally as long as I can remember. Today is the 13th anniversary of the death of Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu who was a Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.

Today's Woman of Character is Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
