Mother Teresa: Walking with Her Saints (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780809105762)

This beautiful and inspiring book provides priceless and never-before-published photographs of the most revered and loved woman of our times, along with quotations from her favorite saints and scriptural passages. Born in Albania in 1910, Mother Teresa joined the Missionary Sisters of Loreto and was sent to India to teach in a high school. In Calcutta she saw the staggering poverty, disease and misery of the poor often left to die in the streets. Mother Teresa felt called by God to live among these outcasts to nurse and care for them and enable them to die in dignity. Before entering the Society of Jesus, Hiroshi Katayanagi, the editor and photographer of this special book, spent a year in Calcutta as a volunteer with Mother Teresa. During that time he had the privilege of taking many wonderful candid photographs of this modern saint. In this inspiring sequel to his widely popular My Dear Children, Katayanagi presents these photographs with accompanying words and prayers of saints dear to Mother Teresa and quotations from scripture that are both moving and relevant. Together, these words and images form a testament to the holiness and wisdom that Mother Teresa shares with the communion of saints who were her companions and inspiration along her journey. This small, exquisite book forms a tender tribute and a loving gift to all who read it. +
