Read an Excerpt

Every one of these poor wretches, it seems, was worth more to Mother Teresa than the whole world. When Pope Paul VI visited India in 1964, he was escorted in triumph through the streets of Bombay - in a white Lincoln Continental that he had been given by American Catholics. The Pope used his luxury car only once - he preferred a jeep anyway - and donated it to Mother Teresa. At the first opportunity she raffled it off for four times its value and built Shanti Nagar, a rehabilitation center for lepers, of whom there were 3,000,000 in India and more than 50,000 in the region of Calcutta alone. To this day the Missionaries of Charity take care of them and give those who have been cured vocational training so that they don't have to beg anymore.
