Following the canonisation of Mother Teresa last Sunday, the CTS kindly sent me their booklet about her, written by Jim Gallagher. For £2.50 it contains a wealth of information about her, some of it widely known, some probably less so.

It includes a photo of her, taken in her teens, before she left her home in Skopje (then in Albania) when her name was simply Agnes Bojaxhiu. What links the photo to the world-famous religious Sister she was to become is her strong jaw line and the clear and resolute expression in her eyes.
