Mother Teresa shares the heart of Jesus in a way that will inspire you to love those who are forgotten and neglected—no matter where they live. The needy and the poor, she insists, are not only those in our inner-city slums and Third World countries but those who suffer spiritually or physically in our own families and neighborhoods—an unappreciated spouse, a neglected child, or a lonely shut-in. Mother Teresa also speaks eloquently of the scourge of AIDS, which she calls “the leprosy of the West,” the tragedy of abortion, and the need to provide for abandoned and unwanted children.

Besides Mother Teresa's reflections on these topics, Loving Jesus includes a wide-ranging interview with Mother Teresa and a biographical sketch pinpointing important developments in her life. Loving Jesus is not simply the title of a book but a way of life for Mother Teresa. It will encourage you to follow her example. Servant Publications June 1991, Paperback 165 pages.

Total Surrender probes beyond the popular image of Mother Teresa to the very heart of her spiritual life and vision. In her own words, Mother Teresa tells of the simple joy of following Jesus and surrendering fully to him. Her life of radical poverty and wholehearted dedication to the poorest of the poor forms the heart of this inspiring surrender to God and to those most in need.

It is part of the genius of Mother Teresa that she finds ways to tailor her spirituality to people from every state and circumstance in life. Men and women, young and old, sick and well, rich and poor, religious and lay, married and single, Catholic and Protestant, are able to join with her, sharing her vision and joy in service to Christ and the poor.

A moving first-hand account of Mother Teresa and her work, written by someone who worked by her side. As an idealistic young volunteer, author Susan Conroy spent a summer serving in one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages and in the Home for the Dying. “In a city where I found hell on earth,” she says, “I also found each day a deep sense of peace and incredible happiness.”

It was an experience that changed her life forever. She learned why Mother Teresa had found real joy in working with the poorest of the poor. Along the way, she took striking photographs that have never been seen before now — photographs that show Mother Teresa at her everyday best. This is an account you won’t soon forget, told with simple and loving directness by an eyewitness. Paper, 224 pages. Our Sunday Visitor Spring 2003.

"Sitting with Mother Teresa, watching her tend to the sick and the dying, feeling the aura of holiness around her person, seeing her bent in prayer, lost in God -- how often I asked myself if I was not seeing something of Our Lady, experiencing a glimpse of the Virgin of Nazareth." -- Joseph Langford, MC, author and co-founder of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers.

This collection of private writings and reflections, most of which have never been made public, is a moving chronicle Mother Teresa’s spiritual journey, including her darkest moments of desolation. These letters have been compiled by a friend, Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., the postular for her cause for sainthood and director of the Mother Teresa Center. She emerges from her letters as a classic mystic whose spirit 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.
