Brian Kolodiejchuk, a priest and postulator for the cause of beatification and canonization of Mother Teresa, has dedicated his life to the study and promotion of her work. His academic background in philosophy and psychology provides a unique lens through which to understand the theological and organizational dimensions of her mission. Through his extensive association with Mother Teresa and his pivotal role in her canonization process, he has become a key witness and interpreter of her life and legacy.
Her absolute conviction that she was doing God's will is well known but what is a revelation is the discovery that she fulfilled her mission in spite of feeling a chasm of spiritual emptiness within her, which lasted for decades.
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 has been known, however, about her interior life. This collection of her writing and reflections sheds a light on Mother Teresa that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time. Book jacket.
