When Mother Teresa became nun she promised 3 important vows. The 3 vows were poverty, chastity
and obedience. The vow of poverty is about copying Jesus by living a poor life even if your rich. By doing
this, nuns are able to become poor in spirit and dedicate their life to work. So Mother Teresa gave up material
processions and her family. She lived independently to prissy her calling and serve God as well as others.
The vow as chastity is aiming to imitate Jesus by never getting married. Mother Teresa never got married or
had any sexual behaviours because they are to give all of their love to God. The last vow was a vow about
obedience. In this aspect, Mother Teresa is seeking God by praying, reflecting, and having dialogue with
others.
