对整个世界来说,特蕾莎修女开始为人所熟知,是以自己困苦穷乏之人母亲的身份,她一生致力于服务人类,她就是这种人生的象征。特蕾莎修女的慈善工作从印度起航,1929年,她被送到这里,送她来的正是她所在的修会——都柏林洛雷托姐妹。不过,她是在科索沃的小莱特尼察村接受了天主的召唤。于是,作为一个18岁的年轻姑娘,她在科索沃定了居,她的家庭也从马其顿搬了过来。
A devout Catholic from an early age,she would later reveal that it was in the Church of the Blessed Lady of Letnica that she decided to adopt a life of religious devotion.
从很小的时候开始,特蕾莎就已经是一名虔诚的天主教徒了,后来她透露说,就是在莱特尼察的Blessed Lady教堂她决定选择一种虔诚奉献的生活方式。
Father Marjan Lorenci of the Letnica Church leads the congregation in prayers in anticipation of Mother Teresa’s canonization.
Marjan Lorenci是莱特尼察教堂的神父,他带领祈祷者进行集会,希望能够追封特蕾莎修女为圣者。
The church serves a community of 500 Catholics, in a village populated mostly by Albanians, with a small Croatian minority.
如今这间教堂能容纳500名天主教徒,教堂位于一个村庄里面,村子中主要是阿尔巴尼亚人,还有一小部分克罗地亚人。
“This is where Mother Teresa felt the holy calling,after she arrived here from Macedonia, from Skopje.She came here because God brought her here with her family,and it is here that she heard God’s word.This is where she took her steps on the path to serve God,and what’s more important, to serve her brother man,” Lorenci said.
“就是在这个地方,特蕾莎修女感受到了圣召,当时她刚离开马其顿和斯科普里到了这。之所以到这里来,是因为上帝在指引着她和家人,也正是在这里,她听到了上帝说的话。还是在这里,她踏上了侍奉上帝的征程,更重要的是,为她的兄弟服务。”Lorenci如是说道。
For the local community, Mother Teresa’s canonization is a source of pride and a chance to share the famous missionary of Albanian origin with the world.
对于当地社区来说,追封特蕾莎修女为圣者,会让他们感到十分自豪,同时这也是一次机会,让他们与世界共同分享这位有阿尔巴尼亚血统的传教士。
“I was born and raised here,and I am very proud to have received my religious teachings at the same church where Mother Teresa first felt her calling,”
“我生在这里,长在这里,我真的非常自豪,因为我接受宗教教义的地方,就是特蕾莎修女感受到圣召的那个教堂。”

Lush Gjergji神父第一次见特蕾莎修女是在1968年,关于这位诺贝尔奖获得者,他记述了大量资料。他表示,特蕾莎修女每次来科索沃,必定会造访莱特尼察。
“The one place which she always visited was Letnica; it was her spiritual sanctuary,”
