Summary:
Mother Teresa is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God's mercy to those in need. This is a new book of Mother Theresa's unpublished material, compiled and edited by Brian Kolodiejckuk, M.C., the postulator of Mother Teresa's cause for sainthood. Presents deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our everyday lives. In her own words, Mother Teresa discusses such topics as: the need for us to visit the sick and the imprisoned, the importance of honoring the dead and informing the ignorant, the necessity to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly, the purpose to feed the poor and pray for all, and the greatness of creating a "civilization of love" through personal service to others.
