Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction Religion
This historic work reveals the inner spiritual life of one
of the most beloved and important religious figures in
history. During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor,
Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all
religions; her extraordinary contributions to the care of
the sick, the dying, and thousands of others nobody else
was prepared to look after has been recognized and
acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known, however,
about her own spiritual heights or her struggles. This
collection of her writing and reflections, almost all of
which have never been made public before, sheds light on
Mother Teresa's interior life in a way that reveals the
depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time. Compiled and presented by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., who
knew Mother Teresa for twenty years and is the postulator
for her cause for sainthood and director of the Mother
Teresa Center, MOTHER TERESA brings together letters she
wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades. A moving
chronicle of her spiritual journey—including moments,
indeed years, of utter desolation—these letters reveal the
secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. She
emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with
the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified
by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the soul. Published to coincide with the tenth anniversary of her
death, MOTHER TERESA is an intimate portrait of a woman
whose life and work continue to be admired by millions of
people.
