However, my trust in god keeps me safe and guides me down the right path. God has spoken to me and told me that I was meant to be a mother and live a life surrounded by children.

She founded the Missionaries of Charity, who ran over 500 missions worldwide. Not only that, but she was canonised as a Saint by the Catholic Church in 2016.
