STORYLINE
The Missionaries of Charity headquarters in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta is a landmark for (m) millions of people who have come to associate it with the legendary Mother Teresa.
As Pope John Paul II prepares to beatify the famous nun, most agree that she was a living saint for India's poor and deserves eternal veneration for that alone.
Mother Teresa will be beatified on October 19 at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, taking her a step closer to sainthood.
She was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia.
She joined the Loreto order of nuns in 1928 and in 1946, while traveling by train from Calcutta to Darjeeling, was inspired to found the Missionaries of Charity order.
The order was established four years later and has since opened more than a hundred houses worldwide to provide comfort and care for the needy, sick and "poorest of the poor."
Mother Teresa won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work with Calcutta's destitute and ill.
She cared for the impoverished and sick in Calcutta's slums, toiling daily and for long hours even when she was elderly and ailing herself.
She died at the age of 87 on September 5, 1997.
A year after she died, Pope John Paul II waived the normal five-year waiting period for the beatification process to begin.
