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.
德蘭修女的好友、“仁愛之家”成員科洛杰奇克神父向梵蒂岡提出封圣德蘭修女的請求，其中一個程序是將德蘭修女生前的書信編撰成書，于是出版了這本名為《Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light》（德蘭修女∶來當(dāng)我的光）。本書結(jié)集德蘭修女生前40年來撰寫的信件，揭示原來虔誠如德蘭修女也經(jīng)歷了近50年的信心危機，她曾質(zhì)疑天主和天堂是否存在，一度停止祈禱，更坦言討厭自己表里不一，至死仍未能釋懷。
德蘭修女在1946年受耶穌基督感召，獻身服務(wù)加爾各答貧民，雖然她曾表明其心靈「完全屬于耶穌的心」，但信件揭示她早在1949年照顧貧民之初已經(jīng)常感孤單，精神飽受折磨。
