Agnes Gondzha Boyadjiev, the future Mother Teresa was born August 27, 1910 in Skopje, the former Ottoman Empire, and modern Macedonia. She was the youngest of three children of Nicola Boyadjiev, a wealthy merchant. Her mother, nee Dranafile Bernay, has always been a true Catholic. Remembering his childhood, Mother Teresa told “When I was five years old, my mother and I were walking through the fields to the village, which was located quite far from our village; I was holding my mother’s hand and was happy. At some point, my mother stopped and said: “You took my hand and feel safe, because I know the road. That’s how you should keep the arm and the mother of God, and it throughout your life will lead you on the right path. Never let go of her hand! “. These words sank deep into my heart and memory: all my life I was holding her by the arm. And today did not regret it! “. Little Agnes was so cute that relatives and neighbors called her an angel. Always obedient and cheerful, happy little girl grew up in my own little world: going to school, sang in the church choir, wrote a note in the local newspaper, dreaming about the future. In the choice of profession was influenced by contacts with the Brotherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary – an organization that helps the poor in different countries. Once he heard the priest of the parish read a letter from missionaries from India, Agnes became interested in the activities of Bengal mission. Subsequently, the life of Mother Teresa loved to be in tableaux viands nun to her order. The scene where seventeen Agnes asks the blessing of the mother to become a nun and go to Calcutta, they succeeded best. My mother survived the shock. Agnes so quiet, so reasonable, so home, good-natured! Where does this stink? Oh, and where that of Calcutta, on what side of the world? Giving his daughter to God, and even more so in Calcutta, meant especially for those times, separation forever. Her brother, Lazarus, who had studied while in the Military Academy, felt the decision of her younger sister’s girlish whim, as she wrote in the letter. An Agnes endlessly quoted her numerous biographers: “Do you consider yourself important, because you’ll become an officer and serve the King with two millions of subjects?” I will serve the king of the world. ”
