Mother Teresa shares the heart of Jesus in a way that will inspire you to love those who are forgotten and neglected—no matter where they live. The needy and the poor, she insists, are not only those in our inner-city slums and Third World countries but those who suffer spiritually or physically in our own families and neighborhoods—an unappreciated spouse, a neglected child, or a lonely shut-in. Mother Teresa also speaks eloquently of the scourge of AIDS, which she calls “the leprosy of the West,” the tragedy of abortion, and the need to provide for abandoned and unwanted children.
Besides Mother Teresa's reflections on these topics, Loving Jesus includes a wide-ranging interview with Mother Teresa and a biographical sketch pinpointing important developments in her life. Loving Jesus is not simply the title of a book but a way of life for Mother Teresa. It will encourage you to follow her example. Servant Publications June 1991, Paperback 165 pages. Quantity
A moving first-hand account of Mother Teresa and her work, written by someone who worked by her side. As an idealistic young volunteer, author Susan Conroy spent a summer serving in one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages and in the Home for the Dying. “In a city where I found hell on earth,” she says, “I also found each day a deep sense of peace and incredible happiness.”
It was an experience that changed her life forever. She learned why Mother Teresa had found real joy in working with the poorest of the poor. Along the way, she took striking photographs that have never been seen before now — photographs that show Mother Teresa at her everyday best. This is an account you won’t soon forget, told with simple and loving directness by an eyewitness. Paper, 224 pages. Our Sunday Visitor Spring 2003. Quantity
As it was for Mother Teresa, so it can be for the rest of us. By standing close to Our Lady we can find the grace and courage to overcome our own personal trials and crosses. Summon the same powerful presence and aid of Our Lady by following the example of Mother Teresa.
"Sitting with Mother Teresa, watching her tend to the sick and the dying, feeling the aura of holiness around her person, seeing her bent in prayer, lost in God -- how often I asked myself if I was not seeing something of Our Lady, experiencing a glimpse of the Virgin of Nazareth." -- Joseph Langford, MC, author and co-founder of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers.

This authorized biography of a much-loved woman is remarkable for its readable narrative and intimate account of the life of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, often told in her own words, thus making it stand above the many books written about this contemporary saint both before and after her death. Its publication coincides with her beatification on October 19, 2003.
Author T.T. Mundakel spent many hours with Mother Teresa; his skillful integration of her own words describing the events, decisions, and challenges of her life enhance the simple and compelling account of her struggles, her unending confidence in God, and her work among the poorest of the poor in India. Following her life from her childhood in Albania, via Dublin, to the streets of Calcutta, Blessed Mother Teresa exudes love, dignity, and faith.
The book was originally written in the Malayalam language (one of the many Indian languages) and translated into Hindi in 1998, winning the prestigious Kakkassery award for the best biography published in India. The new translation into English is as befittingly gracious as its subject. Blessed Mother Teresa was written with the full cooperation of Mother Teresa and after her death, with the endorsement of the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded. 224 pages; Hardback.
