Question

Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
At the age of 18, Mother Teresa was convinced that her life's vocation lay in her becoming a missionary in far-off
India; Skopje, where she was born on August 26, 1910, was so far removed from Bengal that, barring a few
Yugoslav Jesuits who fired her young imagination, no one in the small Catholic community would even have
known where is India situated. Yet the early seeds of her faith and determination impelled her to leave her closely
knit family. She found that the route to India lay in her joining the Loreto Order of teaching nuns, who were
headquartered in faraway Calcutta. Here she taught for close to 20 years before her true calling propelled her to
serve the poor in the streets and slums. The Vatican, fantastically, gave her permission to step outside the
Cloister, not as a lay worker but with her religious vows intact, to set up her own order, the Missionaries of
Charity. In 1948, Calcutta's pavements were teeming with millions uprooted by the Partition, who had joined the
hapless sufferers of the Great Bengal famine. Into this sea of tragedy, homelessness, disease and despair
stepped a 38-year-old nun, dressed not in a recognizable nun's habit, but a sari similar to what the municipal
sweeper wore. She had no companion, no helper and no money to speak of. What she did have was a secret
calling that her God wanted her to leave the security of the Loreto Convent and minister to Him in his distressing
disguise of the poorest of the poor, the abandoned infant, the leprosy sufferer shunned by society and the dying
destitute.

loreto order of teshing nuns

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 3. Missionaries of Charity

Explanation:

The passage relates to the story "Mother Teresa", very well penned by Dr Aroup Chatterjee.

• Mother Teresa is remembered for her service to humanity because she believed that by helping the poor, she was serving God.

• She became famous for founding the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that wanted to help the underprivileged with over 4,500 sisters and members in 133 countries as of 2012.

• A fourth vow of the Missionaries of Charity is to provide "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor," which is a requirement for Missionaries of Charity members to fulfil in addition to the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience.

• From the given passage, we have got to know about how Mother Teresa was convinced to devote her whole life to social causes.
• She was born in Uskub (now known as Skopje) on 26th August 1910. She had to learn English to complete her taking vows as a nun, for which she went to Loreto Abby. After that, besides all her struggles, she founded the missionaries of charity to serve the poor.

Hence, it is evident from the passage that after realising her life's vocation, she initially established the Missionaries of Charity.
