Mother Teresa, in brief, is remembered for helping those who were less fortunate than her. She is known to be a saint and is highly respected by the Pope and others. Mother Teresa lived her life to serve God's message and to live for those in need.

And for dedicating a proportion of her life with people with a life which people would think is not worth living.
She dedicated her life to helping poor, sick and helpless people of the world. Up until 1970 she was largely unknown, but was then selected to be the subject of a book by the journalist Malcolm Muggeridge called "Something Beautiful for God" which was made into a documentary film that was seen worldwide; and led to her receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
