Matka Tereza Book order (chronological)

Mier je vzácny, nie je samozrejmosťou ani dnes. Pokoj sa začína v srdci každého z nás. Ak chceme prispieť k pokoju vo svete, ponúknime svoje ruky na pomoc a svoje srdce na lásku. Lebo láska je to najkrajšie, čo môžeme dať. Skúsme dnes obdarovať niekoho svojím úsmevom a zistíme, koľko dobra môže vyvolať jednoduchý úsmev. Matka Tereza, vlastným menom Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiuová, sa narodila 26. augusta 1910 v Macedónsku. Založila rehoľné spoločenstvo Kongregáciu misionárok lásky a je nositeľkou Nobelovej ceny za mier. Rozhodla sa starať sa o opustených a zomierajúcich ľudí v Indii. Jej život dodnes oslovuje mnohých. Zomrela 5. septembra v roku 1997 v Kalkate, v Indii. 4. septembra 2016 ju pápež František vyhlásil za svätú.

“If I ever become a Saint–I will surely be one of “darkness.” I will continually be absent from Heaven–to lit the light of those in darkness on earth .” –Mother Teresa of Calcutta 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 letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades, 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. 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.

The postulator for Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, has culled some of her most stirring words into a powerful book that her admirers will treasure. Jesus is My All in All follows the Roman Catholic novena format; derived from the Latin word for nine, the novena provides a nine-day rhythm of prayer and reflection. A prayer to Mother Teresa herself is the foundation for each day’s reflections, which illuminate such topics as: • Finding Jesus in your heart • Becoming convinced of Jesus’ love for you • Seeking guidance from Mary the Mother of Jesus • Drawing on Jesus’ thirst to quench the needs of those around you Accompanied by striking full-color images, JESUS IS MY ALL IN ALL immortalizes the words and wisdom of one of humanity’s most radiant women.
