Blessed Mother Teresa : her journey to your heart

More about the book

Mother Teresa is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and best-loved figures of the 20th century. At the age of 18, she joined the Irish order of the Sisters of Loreto and, in 1950, founded her own order, the Missionaries of Charity, whose work was to provide 'free service to the poor and the unwanted, irrespective of caste, creed, nationality or race'. She firmly believed that there could not be any worship more sublime than the service of humanity, and in 1979 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work. The author spent many hours with Mother Teresa, and much of BLESSED MOTHER TERESA is in her own words. Following her life from her childhood in Albania, via Dublin, to the streets of Calcutta, this book exudes her love, dignity and faith. Authorized by her community in Calcutta, it is a simple and compelling tribute to a remarkable person, whose charity and compassion touched the world.
