"This is a hall of words. A few days ago we had, in this rostrum, the most powerful men in the world. Now we have the privilege to have the most powerful woman in the world... she is much more than I, much more than all of us. She is the United Nations. She is the peace in this world."
Those glowing words came from Javier Perez de Cuellar, 5th General Secretary to the United Nations, when he introduced Mother Teresa to the U.N. General Assembly Oc. 26, 1985.
In addition to being called "the most powerful woman in the world" Mother Teresa has also been described in many other magnanimous terms --- a living saint, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, symbol of hope, spiritual master, the saint of the gutters, most admired person of the century by Gallup organization."
No other human has influenced my life like Mother Teresa, her witness for Christ was unquestionably the most influential in the last century, and lives on today.
