Mother Teresa, Come Be My Light – The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta

Mother Teresa Come Be My Light The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta

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.

5 Stars Beautiful
The writings of Mother Teresa are nothing less than awe inspiring and emotional. The directness and open observations which she speaks so openly about may just inspire you to great things or improve your own awareness.

5 Stars An Illuminated Dark Night
"Come be my light" is the electrifying memoir of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. One can say that it's a TRUE romance story–unlike a Harlequin. Mother Teresa heroically lived her faith, even in her dark night of the soul. It's heartbreaking,poignant,powerful, and inspiring. It's a tearjerker. Beneath Mother Teresa's life of social justice and charity,there lived a heart burning with love,struggling with doubts. "Come be my light" will be the "Story of a Soul" for the 21st century.

5 Stars an amazing walk with faith
If you ever wanted to have an idea what it was to walk the steps with Mother Theresa and find out just a fraction of what she suffered to keep her promise to God/Jesus, this is a window into her amazing journey. It is must read for all Christians and non Christians. If the world had just a pinky finger size of courage, faith and selflessness as Mother Theresa, I imagine the world could be a better place for all. Very inspiring!

5 Stars Mother Teresa our humble example
Hello,

I love this book and am listening over and over. Her complete humility

and love for God is made perfect, all the more so in her many years of darkness. She still went on to put herself aside to love Christ in the poorest of the poor.

Thank God for a holy woman who is teaching me how to live in my own suffering, I hope you find this treasure as well!

5 Stars Loved it
