It was the summer of 1986 when 21-year-old Susan Conroy got on a plane by herself, going far from her family's home in Maine. Her destination: Calcutta, India. Her reason: to serve the poorest of the poor with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity.
While serving in Calcutta, Susan developed a personal friendship with Mother Teresa that lasted for the next 11 years, until Mother Teresa was called home to God in 1997. Side-by-side with the great future saint, Susan learned Mother Teresa's insights on suffering, joy, peace, humility, and poverty. She entered into Mother Teresa's heart in her everyday life. She received Mother Teresa's blessing and approval to share the saint's words and prayers with others so "to bring them peace and joy, too."
Susan gathered these gems of spiritual wisdom of the saint into an extraordinary book published by Marian Press. Praying with Mother Teresa: Prayers, Insights, and Wisdom of Saint Teresa of Calcutta gives a meditative look into the heart and soul of Mother Teresa.
As you read, you enter into the prayer life of one of the most beloved women of all time. It also includes never-before-published photos of Mother Teresa, Susan, and the Missionaries of Charity working at the Home for the Dying in Calcutta. These photos bring to life the words and prayers that you read. This book is an invitation to enter into the life of Mother Teresa - why did she do what she did? How could she do all that she did? Her words and prayers will show you.
St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!
