Overview

Spend a year meditating on the gospel call, as lived out in Mother Teresa of Calcutta. This devotional guide is arranged under fifty-two themes of love and charity, incorporating relevant scriptural passages, the inspiring words of Mother Teresa, and anecdotes from her life's ministry of tireless service to the world's forsaken destitute and dying.

The reader's own reflections can be recorded in the generous space provided at the end of each week. An added feature of this book is a seven-day selection of prayers and litanies ideally suited for private retreat in the spirit of Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity.

Prayertimes with Mother Teresa offers an easy-to-follow formula for deriving needed spiritual nourishment in the Word and prepares us for living the Word in our own everyday lives.
