Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), commonly known as Mother Teresa and honoured in the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. [8] She was born in Skopje (now the capital of North Macedonia), then part of the Koso- vo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. After living in Skopje for eighteen years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life. In 1950, Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congre- gation that had over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012. The congre- gation manages homes for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. It also runs soup kitchens, dispensaries, mobile clinics, children’s and family counselling programmes, as well as orphanages and schools. Members take vows of chastity, pover- ty, and obedience, and also profess a fourth vow—to give “wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.” Teresa received a number of honours, including the 1962 Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize and 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.

In introducing the Catholic Directory, it is our pleasing duty to reiterate our grateful thanks for the valuable assistance and in­ formation received from the Prelates and the Superiors of the Missions mentioned in this book. The compilation of the Catholic Direct­ ory involves no small amount of labour, which, however, we believe is not spent in vain, for the Directory seems to be of great use to many working in the same field.

Madras, die 21a mensis Decembris, 1921. PREFACE Another year has been added to the cen­ turies buried in the past, another year has been ushered in by joyful hymns. It is the old, old story. On the threshold of the new year we always resolve to spend the ensuing one better in the light we gained during the preceding twelve months. It is the old, old story. The 1921 edition of the Catholic Directory of India, Burma and Ceylon was far from complete, and the respective Chancellarles seeing this resolved no doubt that 1922 would see a copy unheard of for accuracy even in the life of this useful publication. All the ’ reports came in. Not one point—if we except Statistics—for the Compiler to complain about. To all and every one our best thanks. Y et there is in the present issue one omis­ sion which we regret. Three times we wrote asking for a photo and a brief sketch of the ^ new Vicar Apostolic of Trichur, and we were disappointed not to receive either in time for insertion. The notes inserted will be appreciated by all our readers. The contributors are heartily thanked for these sketches. It may be recorded that the Compiler is grateful for any useful suggestion.

  • S Mercy to the Poorest of the Poor
    Icons of Mercy: Spreading God’s mercy to the poorest of the poor “[L]ove makes itself particularly noticed in contact with suffering, injustice and poverty — in contact with the whole historical ‘human condition’ … It is precisely the mode and sphere in which love manifests itself that in biblical language is called ‘mercy.'” — Pope St. John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, No. 3 If you read that one person in 1950 began an organization in a small part of the world and that 50 years later it had more than 4,000 workers at 610 locations in 123 countries, you might think you were reading about a successful multinational corporation. These statistics, however, reflect the incredible work of Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata and the religious institute she founded, the Missionaries of Charity. The numbers are impressive — and hard to ignore — and they brought a lot of attention to Mother Teresa during her lifetime, both positive and negative. Often, the reaction went hand in hand with the person’s attitude regarding faith: Those who identified as atheists tended to be hostile, while believers tended to be sympathetic. The Catholic Church is unequivocal in its praise of Mother Teresa, not for any human success but for her yielding to God’s will. By beatifying her on Oct. 19, 2003, the Church recommends Mother Teresa as a model disciple of Christ and, more pointedly, as a model of one who received and shared God’s mercy. Early life Born Aug. 26, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia, to Nikola and Drana Bojaxhiu, Mother Teresa, who was born Gonxha Agnes, was surrounded by examples of vibrant faith in her family and parish.

All through her life the ties and friendship between herself and the Institute remained firm, and she was personally known to many of our sisters, especially in India. Much has been written about Mother Teresa over the years, and many books, films and documentaries have been produced. We have gathered together these few articles, reflections and photos on the occasion of her canonisation to honour her and to remember her, not only as a former member, but most of all as a friend of IBVM. In doing so this simple publication acknowledges Mother Teresa’s generous response to God, in answering her particular call to go out to the destitute and untouchables on the streets of Kolkata and our world. Her life challenges each of us to live with our eyes and hearts fixed on those who are small in our society, those whom society rejects and forgets.

Alexis H. Lepicier, O.S.M., D D ., has very graciously blessed the Compiler and all those who have co-operated with him in bringing out the Directory.

    rfc-3 CATHOLIC DIRECTORY OF INDIA, CEYLON AND BURMA 1926. PUBLISHED BY THE CATHOLIC SUPPLY SOCIETY, MADRAS. PRINTED AT THE “ GOOD PASTOR ” PRESS, BROADWAY, MADRAS. Yale Divinity Library New Haven, Conn. M m y. 7ê NOTE. The Catholic Directory, now in its 76th year of publication, was known up to 1912 as the Madras Catholic Directory and Annual General Register. It was then preceded by the Or do redtandi Officii Divini, etc., which is now issued separately. Each sheet of the Directory contains, as fa r as possible, the latest information down to the time of its going to press. Nihil obstat. P. JUSTIN VÏON, Censor Deputatus. Imprimatur : * J. AELEN, Archbishop of Madras. Madras, 15th Januaiy 1926. PREFACE. In offering the Catholic Directory for 1926, the editor thinks he ought to tender a few words of apology to the reader. Fully aware of the many short-comings, omissions and oversights which have crept in the present issue, the editor can vouchsafe to assert that this is a fair attempt at embo­ dying most of the suggestions and construc­ tive criticisms which were sent to him in the course of last year. The chief improvement of the present issue consists in this : the book has been divided into three parts : 1. General Informa­ tion ; 2. Territorial Units ; 3. Alphabetical Lists and References. This renders classifi­ cation of items more easy and opens the way for further improvements which we contemplate in the next issue. The Historical Notes of several dioceses have been recast and to make them still more precise and concise the editor ventures to call for the help of all those who could give any assistance on the subject.

  • Disorientating the Orient in the Self-Images of Non-British
    1 Dr. Ian Magedera Disorientating the Orient and Disoriented Orients: Said, Derrida and the ‘Satnav’ Paradox It is the last week of July 1905 and a postcard has been dispatched from Cabourg to someone staying in room 165 at the Grand Hotel in Royat (which had the rather grand name of ‘Royat-les-Bains’ at the time). Until we look at the card, these facts seem utterly unremarkable, as it is probably one of the thousands of postcards sent that week in France. Why, however, should this particular postcard retain our attention? As a starting point, let us note Jacques Derrida’s comments on the postcard’s combination of intimacy and public exhibition: ‘si la carte postale est une sorte de lettre ouverte […] on peut toujours […] tenter de la rendre indéchiffrable […]’.1 This is just it, for most of us the public face of this card is totally opaque: it is incomprehensible if we cannot read Gujarati. And yet, even if we are one of the 41 million speakers of that language, the sounds the characters form make no sense unless the Gujarati speaker could also speak French. This double condition required for comprehension increases exponentially the exclusivity of the document. It is necessary to extend the terms of Roman Jakobson’s 1960 General Schema of Communication to interpret it. The postcard therefore requires two linguistic keys to decipher the twin code which carries its intimate message:2 ‘Je n’ai rien recu aujourd’hui, ni carte ni lettre. J’espère avoir beaucoup demain matin. Madeleine et moi avons fait ce soir une promenade.

  • Negotiation of National and Transnational Agendas by Interwar Yugoslav Missionaries in Bengal
    DVE DOMOVINI • TWO HOMELANDS • 50 • 2019 DOI: 10.3986/dd.v2019i50.7457 “OUR BENGAL MISSION”: NEGOTIATION OF NATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL AGENDAS BY INTERWAR YUGOSLAV MISSIONARIES IN BENGAL Helena MOTOH| COBISS 1.01 ABSTRACT “Our Bengal Mission”: Negotiation of National and Transnational Agendas by Interwar Yugoslav Missionaries in Bengal Contrary to the normative apostolic letter Maximum illud, which demanded that mis- sionaries cut their ties with national(ist) and colonial agendas, the missionary project of the Yugoslav interwar missionaries in Bengal was deeply suffused with patriot- ism, with the newspapers and missionary publications alike portraying the Yugoslav Bengali mission as a symbolic victory of the newly-established Yugoslav state. The present paper aims to interpret this controversy by exploring how men and women missionaries negotiated the conflicting relationship between the transnational mis- sionary project and the nationalist agendas, while also struggling with the controver- sial decisions of which national agenda to pursue. KEY WORDS: missionaries, Bengal, Yugoslavia, patriotism, nation IZVLEČEK »Naš bengalski misijon«: Usklajevanje nacionalnih in transnacionalnih načrtov pri jugoslovanskih misijonarjih in misijonarkah v Bengaliji med obema vojnama V nasprotju z apostolskim pismom Maximum illud, ki je od misijonarjev zahtevalo, da pretrgajo vezi z nacional(istič)nimi in kolonialnimi interesi, je bil misijonarski podvig medvojnih jugoslovanskih misijonark in misijonarjev v Bengaliji globoko prežet s pa- triotizmom, tako časopisje kot misijonarski tiski pa so jugoslovanski bengalski misijon prikazovali kot simbolno zmago nove jugoslovanske države. Članek želi to protislovje interpretirati z raziskavo načinov, na katere so usklajevali konflikt med transnacional- nim misijonarskim projektom in nacionalističnimi programi, pri čemer so bili pogosto pred težavno odločitvijo, interesom katere nacije naj sledijo.
