Mother Teresa — The Embodiment of Selfless Giving
Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia, dedicated her entire life to serving the poorest of the poor. Her journey began when she joined the Sisters of Loreto and moved to Calcutta, India, where she witnessed unimaginable suffering firsthand. With unwavering faith and humility, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, a religious congregation devoted to caring for the sick, the dying, and the destitute.
While Mother Teresa’s form of “tithing” was not measured in dollars or percentages, her life was the ultimate offering—giving every moment, every breath, and every ounce of love to others without expectation or condition. Her work demonstrated that tithing transcends monetary donation; it is a sacred discipline of surrender, compassion, and presence.
Her example reminds us that the true spirit of tithing is not merely about the amount given, but the quality of the giving—the intention, the sacrifice, and the alignment with a higher purpose. In a world often preoccupied with numbers and transactions, Mother Teresa’s life calls us back to the heart of generosity: the selfless offering of oneself in service to others.
What this says about tithing.
For The Great Tithing Movement, Mother Teresa is a beacon—showing that giving is as much about spirit as it is about substance. It is a call to give not just from abundance, but from a place of deep human connection and unconditional love.
