Book Reviews of Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light
Book Review: Astonishing
Summary: 5 Stars
Mother Teresa of Calcutta was famed for her lovely sweet smile and dogged persistence in her lonvg service to the poorest of the poor and advocacy for all the defenseless. Until the publications of these searing, most private letters to her spiritual director no one knew how deeply she shared -as she prayed at the outset of her great work- the utter abandonment of the poor, the sick, and the dying, abandoned even by the slightest perception of God's loving presence. This book shows her to be a MUCH GREATER saint than one ever imagined, not just an outstanding idealist and effective do-gooder, but a person to whom had been given a supreme gift... the gift of absolute Divine Absence. Writers and mystics describe and discuss the Apophatic way as if it is something which is beautiful, poetic, lovely. Mother Teresa in her letters to her spiritual director showed that it is a burning fire and a crucifixion which is beautiful only to the onlooker. Luckily, we have the opportunity to share in the deepest experience of a supreme mystic through the words of this book.
Summary of Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light
?If I ever become a Saint?I will surely be one of ?darkness.? I will continually be absent from Heaven?to lit the light of those in darkness on earth .??Mother Teresa of Calcutta
During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions; her extraordinary contributions to the care of the sick, the dying, and thousands of others nobody else was prepared to look after has been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known, however, about her own spiritual heights or her struggles. This collection of letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades, almost all of which have never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa's interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time. A moving chronicle of her spiritual journey?including moments, indeed years, of utter desolation?these letters reveal the secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the soul.
