Summary

This book includes correspondence (and context for understanding it) from Mother Teresa's early years in religious life and throughout her years as founder of a new religious community. This correspondence reveals Mother Teresa's struggles, doubts, and her sense of abandonment by God. These revelations can encourage and strengthen us as she reveals her abiding faith despite darkness and trials.

Missionary of Charity Father Brian Kolodiejchuk met Mother Teresa in 1977 and joined the Missionaries of Charity Fathers at the time of their foundation in 1984. He is postulator of the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta and director of the Mother Teresa Center.

Critic reviews

"Mother Teresa's ministry with the poor won her the Nobel Prize and the admiration of a believing world. Her ministry to a doubting modern world may have just begun." (James Martin, S.J., Culture Editor, America magazine)
"Mother Teresa, sick with longing for a sense of the divine, kept faith with the sick of Calcutta. And now, dead for [over] 10 years, she is poised to reach those who can at last recognize, in her, something of their own doubting, conflicted selves." ( The New York Times)
"Saints are not holy for themselves, but for all of us, their sisters and brothers. I believe this book will become a classic in spirituality." (James Van Vurst, O.F.M., St. Anthony Messenger magazine)

"must-read" for all who care about spiritual life

Difficult to transmit the insight of this testimony of Mother Teresa. Most profound testament. She let herself to be a "victim" to the end. And even the fact that her personal letters remained for us all was against her human wishes. Thus she underwent a profound violence in human sense in many ways. I am immensely grateful to God for this.

True Mother to us all

Where does Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was highly enjoyable and spiritually deep book - even if not a religious person

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mother Teresa

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

Multiple voices made it easy to navigate through different people mentioned in the book and the voice of Mother Teresa did well fit her stature

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

yes - she was a Nobel laureate, who did so much, unlike some other recent laureates - who killed other people instead of helping anyone

Truly a saint of our time

This audio book appears to depict an accurate account of St Saint Mother Teresa life and documents her own internal struggles. She is truly an amazing person who devoted her life to the poorest of the poor. I really enjoyed listening to this book and would like to listen to it again.
