About the author

Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu[6] (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, Albanian: [aˈɲɛzə ˈɡɔndʒɛ bɔjaˈdʒiu]; 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), honoured in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta,[7] was an Albanian-Indian[4] Roman Catholic nun and missionary.[8] She was born in Skopje (now the capital of North Macedonia), then part of the Kosovo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. After living in Skopje for eighteen years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life.

In 1950, Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that had over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012. The congregation manages homes for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. It also runs soup kitchens, dispensaries, mobile clinics, children's and family counselling programmes, as well as orphanages and schools. Members take vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, and also profess a fourth vow – to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor."[9]

Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and canonized by Pope Francis.

Reviews

[John Rey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written in the format for daily reflections, which can be used for daily prayer points. It also includes some excerpts of Mother Teresa's talks.

This really captures what Mother Teresa lived out and taught in her life. It is as if she is talking to you and sharing her heart to you in these passages.

This was an okay daily devotional but probably not one I'd go through again.

Designed for the Catholic because of the way its organized and a lot of the devotions. Gave an insight into Mother Teresa's faith and devotion. Very humbling.

You don't have to be a Christian to learn from one. Gratitude and hope
