Mother Teresa gifts

Mother Teresa is remembered especially for her active works of charity on behalf of the world’s poor, sick, and dying. The outline of Mother Teresa’s Simple Path is this:

The fruit of silence is PRAYER.
The fruit of prayer is FAITH.
The fruit of faith is LOVE.
The fruit of love is SERVICE.
The fruit of service is PEACE.

Prayer was at the root and beginning of Mother Teresa's approach to life. She said "Without prayer I could not work for even half an hour." Mother Teresa prayed in order to become closer to God. The closer she became, the more strongly the message of Jesus to "love one another" spoke to her. The more she responded to the message to love, the more compelled she became to help the people she saw around her who were in the greatest need of help, "the poorest of the poor" in India and then throughout the world.

Mother Teresa became Blessed Mother Teresa on October 19, 2003.

Blessed Mother Teresa

LIG:813092
Her Journey to Your Heart by T.T. Mundakel.

This authorized biography of a much-loved woman is remarkable for its readable narrative and intimate account of the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, often told in her own words, thus making it stand above the many books written about this contemporary saint both before and after her death. Its publication coincides with her beatification on October 19, 2003.

Author T.T. Mundakel spent many hours with Mother Teresa; his skillful integration of her own words describing the events, decisions, and challenges of her life enhance the simple and compelling account of her struggles, her unending confidence in God, and her work among the poorest of the poor in India. Following her life from her childhood in Albania, via Dublin, to the streets of Calcutta, Blessed Mother Teresa exudes love, dignity, and faith.

The book was originally written in the Malayalam language (one of the many Indian languages) and translated into Hindi in 1998, winning the prestigious Kakkassery award for the best biography published in India. The new translation into English is as befittingly gracious as its subject. Blessed Mother Teresa was written with the full cooperation of Mother Teresa and after her death, with the endorsement of the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded. 224 pages; Hardback. Ligouri Publications Fall 2003
