NENA TEREZE PREJ KALKUTE-- nga Omelia di Giovanni Paolo II, Papa Gjon Pali II "Me gjak jam shqiptare; me nėnshtetėsi, indiane. Pėrsa i pėrket besimit, jam murgeshė katolike. Sipas thirrjes, i pėrkas botės. Por zemra ime i pėrket plotėsisht Zemrės sė Krishtit". Nėnė Terezės, me shtat imcak, por me besim shkėmbor, tė patundur, iu besua misioni tė kumtonte dashurinė e etur tė Jezusit pėr njerėzimin, veēanėrisht pėr mė tė varfėrit ndėr tė varfėr. "Hyji vijon ta dojė botėn dhe na dėrgon ty e mua pėr t'u shprehur tė varfėrve dashurinė dhe mėshirėn e Tij". Nė shpirtin e saj, pėrplot me dritėn e Krishtit e me dashuri tė zjarrtė pėr Tė, kishte njė dėshirė tė vetme : "Tė shuante etjen e dashurisė sė Tij pėr shpirtrat njerėzore".
Nė moshėn 18 vjeēare, e shtyrė nga dėshira pėr t'u bėrė misionare, nė shtator tė vitit 1928, Gonxhja i tha lamtumirė shtėpisė atėrore, pėr tė hyrė nė Institutin e sė Lumes Zojė, qė njihej ndryshe me emrin "Motrat e Loretos", nė Irlandė. Atje mori emrin motėr Mari Tereza, pėr nder tė Shėn Terezės sė Krishtit Fėmijė. Nė dhjetor u nis pėr nė Indi. Nė Kalkutė arriti mė 6 Janar tė vitit 1929. Pasi bėri kushtet e pėrkohshme, nė maj tė vitit 1931, Motėr Tereza u dėrgua nė bashkėsinė e Loretos, nė Entali, ku dha mėsim nė shkollėn St.Mary pėr vajza. Mė 24 maj tė 1937-ės, motėr Tereza paraqiti kushtet e pėrjetshme duke u bėrė, siē tha ajo vetė: "Vashė e Jezusit" pėr "amshim". Qė nga ajo ditė e tutje u quajt Nėnė Tereza. Vazhdoi tė jepte mėsim nė St. Mary dhe mė 1944 u emėrua drejtoreshė e shkollės. Grua qė ia kishte kushtuar jetėn lutjes, qė i donte fort motrat dhe nxėnėset e saj, Nėnė Tereza jetoi e lumtur nė Loreto pėr njėzet vjet me radhė. E njohur pėr zemėrgjerėsi, bujari, guxim, aftėsi tė posaēme nė kryerjen e punėve mė tė rėnda dhe pėr talent tė natyrshėm organizativ, ajo e jetoi pėrkushtimin e saj ndaj Jezusit, ndėrmjet motrave, me besnikėri dhe gėzim. Mė 10 dhjetor tė 1946-ės, gjatė udhėtimit me tren nga Kalkuta nė Darjeeling, pėr ushtrimet shpirtėrore vjetore, Nėnė Tereza ndjeu "frymėzimin" e ri, "thirrjen brenda thirrjes". Atė ditė, si e qysh ajo nuk e tregoi kurrė, etja e Krishtit pėr dashuri e pėr shpirtra njerėzore e pushtoi zemrėn e saj dhe dėshira e flaktė pėr ta shuar etjen e Zotit u bė qėllimi kryesor i jetės. Nė javėt dhe muajt e mėpasėm, ajo nisi tė dėgjonte njė zė qė i fliste shpirtit tė saj e tė shihte vegime. Krishti i zbulonte kėshtu dėshirėn e zemrės sė Tij ndaj "njerėzve, qė duke u flijuar pėr dashurinė", "do tė rrezatonin dashurinė e tij ndėr shpirtra". "Eja, tė jesh drita ime"- iu lut - "nuk mund tė shkoj vetėm". E i tregoi sa vuante duke parė mospėrfilljen ndaj tė varfėrve, sa i dhimbte, kur mendonte se ata nuk e njihnin e sa dashuri tė zjarrtė kishte pėr ta. Jezusi i kėrkoi Nėnė Terezės tė themelonte njė bashkėsi rregulltare, Misionaret e Bamirėsisė, qė do t'i kushtoheshin shėrbimit ndaj mė tė varfėrve ndėrmjet tė varfėrve. Kaluan rreth dy vjet arsyetimesh e verifikimesh, para se Nėnė Tereza tė merrte lejen pėr fillimin e misionit tė saj tė ri. Mė 17 gusht tė 1948-ės, veshi pėr herė tė parė sarin e bardhė me anėt blu dhe la pas shpine kangjellat e kuvendit tė Loretos, tė cilin e donte aq shumė, pėr tė hyrė nė botėn e tė varfėrve. Pas njė kursi tė shkurtėr pranė Motrave Mjeke Misionare nė Patna, Nėnė Tereza u kthye rishtas nė Kalkutė ku gjeti njė strehė tė pėrkohshme pranė Motrave tė Vogla tė tė Varfėrve. Mė 21 dhjetor shkeli pėr herė tė parė nė lagjet e tė varfėrve: vizitoi familje, u lau plagėt disa fėmijėve, u kujdesua pėr njė plak qė dergjej nė rrugė tė madhe dhe pėr njė grua qė po vdiste nga uria e nga tuberkulozi. E niste ditėn me Jezusin nė Eukaristi; pastaj, me rruzaren nė duar, dilte pėr t'i gjetur dhe pėr t'u shėrbyer atyre qė janė: "tė braktisur, tė padashur, tė papėrkujdesur". Disa muaj mė vonė, me tė u bashkuan, njėra pas tjetrės, disa nga ish-nxėnėset e saj. Mė 7 tetor tė vitit 1950, Kryedioqeza e Kalkutės njihte zyrtarisht Kongregatėn e re tė Misionareve tė Bamirėsisė. Nė muajt e parė tė vitit 1960, Nėnė Tereza filloi t'i dėrgonte motrat e saj nė tė katėr anėt e Indisė. E Drejta Papnore, lėshuar Kongregatės nga Papa Pali VI nė shkurt tė 1965-ės, i dha zemėr tė hapte njė shtėpi misionare nė Venezuelė. Menjėherė pas saj u themeluan shtėpi tė tjera nė Romė e nė Tanzani dhe, pak mė vonė, nė tė gjitha kontinentet. Duke filluar nga viti 1980, deri mė 1990, Nėnė Tereza hapi shtėpi misioni pothuajse nė tė gjitha vendet komuniste, duke pėrfshirė ish-Bashkimin Sovjetik, Shqipėrinė dhe Kubėn. Pėr t'iu pėrgjigjur sa mė mirė si nevojave fizike, ashtu dhe atyre shpirtėrore tė tė varfėrve, Nėnė Tereza mė 1963 themeloi Vėllezėrit Misionarė tė Bamirėsisė; mė 1976, degėn kundruese tė motrave; mė 1979, Vėllezėrit kundrues dhe mė 1984, Etėrit Misionarė tė Bamirėsisė. Gjithsesi frymėzimi i saj nuk u kufizua vetėm nė njerėzit e thirrur pėr jetė rregulltare. Organizoi Bashkėpunėtorėt e Nėnė Terezės dhe Bashkėpunėtorėt e Sėmurė dhe tė Munduar, njerėz tė feve e tė kombėsive tė ndryshme, me tė cilėt u bė njė nė lutje, thjeshtėsi, flijim dhe nė apostullimin e saj qė shprehej me vepra tė pėrvuajtura bamirėsie. Kjo frymė e shtyu tė themelonte mė pas Misionarėt Shekullarė tė Bamirėsisė. Duke iu pėrgjigjur kėrkesės sė shumė meshtarėve, mė 1991 Nėnė Tereza themeloi edhe Lėvizjen e Korpit tė Krishtit pėr Meshtarė, si "rrugė e vogėl qė i ēon nė shenjtėrim" ata, tė cilėt ishin njė mendje me karizmėn dhe me shpirtin e saj. Gjatė kėtyre viteve, nė sa misioni i saj pėrhapej me tė shpejtė, bota filloi t'ia ngulte sytė Nėnė Terezės dhe veprės qė ajo kishte nisur. Meritoi shumė ēmime pėr veprėn e saj, duke filluar nga Ēmimi indian Padmashri, nė vitin 1962, pėr tė vijuar me Ēmimin e rėndėsishėm Nobel pėr Paqen, mė 1979, ndėrsa mjetet e komunikimit filluan t'i ndiqnin veprimtaritė e saj me interes gjithnjė e mė tė madh. Si ēmimet, ashtu edhe gjithēka qė e vinte nė qėndėr tė vėmendjes, i pranoi "pėr lavdinė e Zotit e nė emėr tė tė varfėrve". Gjithė jeta dhe vepra e Nėnė Terezės ėshtė dėshmi e gėzimit qė buron nga dashuria, e madhėshtisė dhe e dinjitetit tė ēdo njeriu, e vlerės sė gjėrave tė vogla tė bėra me besnikėri e me dashuri, e sidomos, e vlerės sė pakrahasueshme tė miqėsisė me Zotin. Por duhet theksuar edhe njė virtyt tjetėr heroik i kėsaj gruaje tė madhe, i cili u bė i njohur vetėm pas vdekjes sė saj. E fshehur nga sytė e tė gjithėve, e fshehur deri nga ata qė i qėndruan mė pranė, jeta e saj e brendshme u vu nė provė: pati pėrshtypjen e dhimbshme e tė vazhdueshme se ishte ndarė nga Zoti, madje se ai e kishte braktisur, ndėrsa nė shpirt i rritej gjithnjė e mė tepėr dėshira pėr ta pasur pranė. Atė qė po provonte e quajti "errėsirė". "Nata e dhimbshme" e shpirtit tė saj, e cila nisi nė kohėn kur sapo kishte filluar apostullimin mes tė varfėrve e qė vijoi gjatė gjithė jetės, e ēoi Nėnė Terezėn nė njė bashkim edhe mė tė thellė me Zotin. Pėrmes errėsirės, mori pjesė mistikisht nė etjen e Krishtit, nė dėshirėn e tij tė dhimbshme e tė zjarrtė pėr dashuri, duke u njėsuar me mjerimin e tė varfėrve. Gjatė viteve tė fundit tė jetės, pa marrė parasysh problemet e shumta e serioze shėndetėsore, Nėnė Tereza vijoi t'i printe Kongregatės sė saj dhe t'u pėrgjigjej nevojave tė tė varfėrve e tė Kishės. Nė vitin 1997 Nėnė Tereza kishte 4000 motra, tė pranishme nė 610 shtėpi misionare, tė pėrhapura nė 123 vende tė botės. Nė mars tė vitit 1997 bekoi Eproren e re tė Pėrgjithshme, tė sapo zgjedhur, tė Misionareve tė Bamirėsisė e bėri edhe njė udhėtim jashtė shteti. Si pati takuar Papėn Gjon Pali II pėr tė mbramen herė, u rikthye nė Kalkutė ku kaloi javėt e fundit tė jetės duke pritur vizitorė e duke u dhėnė kėshilla simotrave. Mė 5 shtator 1997 jeta tokėsore e Nėnė Terezės arriti cakun e fundit. Qeveria indiane e nderoi me funeralin e Shtetit, nė pėrfundim tė tė cilit trupi i saj u varros nė Shtėpinė-Nėnė tė Misionareve tė Bamirėsisė. Shumė shpejt varri i saj u bė cak shtegtimi e lutjeje pėr njerėz tė besojmave tė ndryshme, pėr tė varfėr e pėr tė pasur, pa kurrfarė dallimi. Nėnė Tereza na lė testamentin e fesė sė patundur, tė shpresės sė pamposhtur e tė bamirėsisė sė jashtzakonshme. Duke iu pėrgjigjur thirrjes sė Jezusit "Eja, tė jesh drita ime!", u bė Misionare e bamirėsisė, "Nėnė e tė varfėrve", simbol i mėshirės pėr mbarė botėn e dėshmitare e gjallė e dashurisė sė etshme tė Zotit. Mė pak se dy vjet pas vdekjes, pėr shkak tė pėrhapjes sė famės sė shenjtėrisė dhe hireve tė nxjerra me ndėrmjetėsinė e saj, Papa Gjon Pali II lejoi tė hapej ēėshtja e kanonizimit. Mė 20 dhjetor 2002 miratoi dekretin mbi virtytet heroike dhe mrekullitė e bėra me ndėrmjetėsinė e saj. -- pėrkthyer nga Zef Ahmeti
Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)-- by Homily of John Paul II By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus. Small of stature, rocklike in faith, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was entrusted with the mission of proclaiming Gods thirsting love for humanity, especially for the poorest of the poor. God still loves the world and He sends you and me to be His love and His compassion to the poor. She was a soul filled with the light of Christ, on fire with love for Him and burning with one desire: to quench His thirst for love and for souls. This luminous messenger of Gods love was born on 26 August 1910 in Skopje, a city situated at the crossroads of Balkan history. The youngest of the children born to Nikola and Drane Bojaxhiu, she was baptised Gonxha Agnes, received her First Communion at the age of five and a half and was confirmed in November 1916. From the day of her First Holy Communion, a love for souls was within her. Her fathers sudden death when Gonxha was about eight years old left in the family in financial straits.. Drane raised her children firmly and lovingly, greatly influencing her daughters character and vocation. Gonxhas religious formation was further assisted by the vibrant Jesuit parish of the Sacred Heart in which she was much involved. At the age of eighteen, moved by a desire to become a missionary, Gonxha left her home in September 1928 to join the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as the Sisters of Loreto, in Ireland. There she received the name Sister Mary Teresa after St. Thérčse of Lisieux. In December, she departed for India, arriving in Calcutta on 6 January 1929. After making her First Profession of Vows in May 1931, Sister Teresa was assigned to the Loreto Entally community in Calcutta and taught at St. Marys School for girls. On 24 May 1937, Sister Teresa made her Final Profession of Vows, becoming, as she said, the spouse of Jesus for all eternity. From that time on she was called Mother Teresa. She continued teaching at St. Marys and in 1944 became the schools principal. A person of profound prayer and deep love for her religious sisters and her students, Mother Teresas twenty years in Loreto were filled with profound happiness. Noted for her charity, unselfishness and courage, her capacity for hard work and a natural talent for organization, she lived out her consecration to Jesus, in the midst of her companions, with fidelity and joy. On 10 September 1946 during the train ride from Calcutta to Darjeeling for her annual retreat, Mother Teresa received her inspiration, her call within a call. On that day, in a way she would never explain, Jesus thirst for love and for souls took hold of her heart and the desire to satiate His thirst became the driving force of her life. Over the course of the next weeks and months, by means of interior locutions and visions, Jesus revealed to her the desire of His heart for victims of love who would radiate His love on souls. Come be My light, He begged her. I cannot go alone. He revealed His pain at the neglect of the poor, His sorrow at their ignorance of Him and His longing for their love. He asked Mother Teresa to establish a religious community, Missionaries of Charity, dedicated to the service of the poorest of the poor. Nearly two years of testing and discernment passed before Mother Teresa received permission to begin. On August 17, 1948, she dressed for the first time in a white, blue-bordered sari and passed through the gates of her beloved Loreto convent to enter the world of the poor. After a short course with the Medical Mission Sisters in Patna, Mother Teresa returned to Calcutta and found temporary lodging with the Little Sisters of the Poor. On 21 December she went for the first time to the slums. She visited families, washed the sores of some children, cared for an old man lying sick on the road and nursed a woman dying of hunger and TB. She started each day in communion with Jesus in the Eucharist and then went out, rosary in her hand, to find and serve Him in the unwanted, the unloved, the uncared for. After some months, she was joined, one by one, by her former students. On 7 October 1950 the new congregation of the Missionaries of Charity was officially established in the Archdiocese of Calcutta. By the early 1960s, Mother Teresa began to send her Sisters to other parts of India. The Decree of Praise granted to the Congregation by Pope Paul VI in February 1965 encouraged her to open a house in Venezuela. It was soon followed by foundations in Rome and Tanzania and, eventually, on every continent. Starting in 1980 and continuing through the 1990s, Mother Teresa opened houses in almost all of the communist countries, including the former Soviet Union, Albania and Cuba. In order to respond better to both the physical and spiritual needs of the poor, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity Brothers in 1963, in 1976 the contemplative branch of the Sisters, in 1979 the Contemplative Brothers, and in 1984 the Missionaries of Charity Fathers. Yet her inspiration was not limited to those with religious vocations. She formed the Co-Workers of Mother Teresa and the Sick and Suffering Co-Workers, people of many faiths and nationalities with whom she shared her spirit of prayer, simplicity, sacrifice and her apostolate of humble works of love. This spirit later inspired the Lay Missionaries of Charity. In answer to the requests of many priests, in 1981 Mother Teresa also began the Corpus Christi Movement for Priests as a little way of holiness for those who desire to share in her charism and spirit. During the years of rapid growth the world began to turn its eyes towards Mother Teresa and the work she had started. Numerous awards, beginning with the Indian Padmashri Award in 1962 and notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, honoured her work, while an increasingly interested media began to follow her activities. She received both prizes and attention for the glory of God and in the name of the poor. The whole of Mother Teresas life and labour bore witness to the joy of loving, the greatness and dignity of every human person, the value of little things done faithfully and with love, and the surpassing worth of friendship with God. But there was another heroic side of this great woman that was revealed only after her death. Hidden from all eyes, hidden even from those closest to her, was her interior life marked by an experience of a deep, painful and abiding feeling of being separated from God, even rejected by Him, along with an ever-increasing longing for His love. She called her inner experience, the darkness. The painful night of her soul, which began around the time she started her work for the poor and continued to the end of her life, led Mother Teresa to an ever more profound union with God. Through the darkness she mystically participated in the thirst of Jesus, in His painful and burning longing for love, and she shared in the interior desolation of the poor. During the last years of her life, despite increasingly severe health problems, Mother Teresa continued to govern her Society and respond to the needs of the poor and the Church. By 1997, Mother Teresas Sisters numbered nearly 4,000 members and were established in 610 foundations in 123 countries of the world. In March 1997 she blessed her newly-elected successor as Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity and then made one more trip abroad. After meeting Pope John Paul II for the last time, she returned to Calcutta and spent her final weeks receiving visitors and instructing her Sisters. On 5 September Mother Teresas earthly life came to an end. She was given the honour of a state funeral by the Government of India and her body was buried in the Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity. Her tomb quickly became a place of pilgrimage and prayer for people of all faiths, rich and poor alike. Mother Teresa left a testament of unshakable faith, invincible hope and extraordinary charity. Her response to Jesus plea, Come be My light, made her a Missionary of Charity, a mother to the poor, a symbol of compassion to the world, and a living witness to the thirsting love of God. Less than two years after her death, in view of Mother Teresas widespread reputation of holiness and the favours being reported, Pope John Paul II permitted the opening of her Cause of Canonization. On 20 December 2002 he approved the decrees of her heroic virtues and miracles. Burimi: http://www.vatican.va/

Kjo lajmėtare e ndritur e dashurisė sė Zotit, lindi mė 26 gusht 1910 nė Shkup, qytet i vendosur nė udhėkryq tė historisė sė Ballkanit. Mė e vogla e pesė fėmijėve tė Nikollė dhe Drane Bojaxhiut, u pagėzua me emrin Gonxhe Anjeze, mori Kungimin e parė nė moshėn pesė vjeē e gjysėm e u krezmua nė nėntor tė vitit 1916. Qė ditėn e Kungimit tė parė, ndjeu nė zemėr njė dashuri tė thellė pėr shpirtrat njerėzore. Me vdekjen e papritur tė babait, nė sa Anjezja nuk i kishte mbushur endč 8 vjetėt, pėr familjen filluan vėshtirėsitė ekonomike. Dranja, grua burrneshė, i rriti fėmijėt plot dashuri, duke ndikuar shumė nė karakterin dhe rrugėn e jetės qė do tė zgjidhte e bija. Mė pas formimi fetar i Gonxhes u thellua nė famullinė Zemrės sė Krishtit, nėn drejtimin e jezuitėve, nė sa merrte pjesė gjallėrisht ndėr tė gjitha veprimtaritė.
