Much of mother teresa's religious outlook was shaped when, at 18, she went to study in Dublin with irish sisters of loretto. There she learnt English and began an introspective life of prayer. Thenm while traveling on q trqin on a mission in indiq 1946m she received what she regqred s her call. The message was quite clear she said later in an interview. It was to leave the convent and help the the poor while living among them. It was an order. I knew where I belonged.
