Lessons:
The most important lesson given by Mother Teresa teaches us the way of praying God. According to her thoughts, when we help the ill and the contaminated, the aged and the sick; we get closer to the God.
She advised people to learn the habit of helping injured people. Diseased or ill people never speak about their mind but they truly want help from someone. We must help them out and go nearer to God.
