St. Teresa of Calcutta – Servant of the Poorest of the Poor

Honor the radical humility and radiant compassion of St. Teresa of Calcutta, lovingly known as Mother Teresa, in this luminous digital portrait. Dressed in her iconic white sari with blue stripes, she is shown in prayerful reverence, clutching a rosary and golden crucifix. A brilliant golden halo and ornate backdrop speak to the hidden sanctity of a life poured out in silence, love, and suffering.

Set against the hazy skyline of Calcutta’s sacred mission fields, this image captures both her gritty realism and heavenly mission. It is a stirring tribute to the saint who saw Christ in the dying, the abandoned, and the forgotten.

Short Biography:
St. Teresa of Calcutta (1910–1997) was born in Albania and founded the Missionaries of Charity, dedicating her life to serving “the poorest of the poor.” Her entire mission was marked by radical love, unwavering devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist, and a fierce defense of human dignity. Despite enduring decades of interior darkness, she remained steadfast in faith and charity. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was canonized in 2016 by Pope Francis.

She is the patron saint of missionaries, the marginalized, and those seeking faith in darkness.
