What are Mother Teresa's favorite quotes?

Answer 1

Mother Teresa used to take the following book with her, wherever she went.

Come to me in the Blessed Sacrament: A prayer book of ten different eucharistic holy hours for private meditation and personal prayer in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament by Vincent Martin Lucia

Also, she really enjoyed a book related to Blessed Charles de Foucauld, but I can't remember its title.

Answer 2

Meg Greene has published a biography about Mother Teresa which has had only mediocre reviews and is quite expensive. It is available on Amazon at this link.There are a number of biographies available on line that are fairly good and objective. This one on Wikipedia is good. The Mother Teresa website has a good biography available in several languages at this link. Avoid books by Hitchens, Livermore and others as they do not present an objective view but authors who have an agenda to destroy this wonderful saint with information that is based on half truths and distortions.

Answer 3

Yes. The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, is a book by Christopher Hitchens. In this book, Hitchens challenges the mainstream media's assessment of her charitable efforts and provides evidence of a darker side to Mother Teresa. This book is not for readers looking for hagiography.

Colette Livermore was a member of Mother Teresa's order the Missionaries of Charity for eleven years from 1973-1984, so if any author had personal knowledge of Mother Teresa's work, it was Livermore. Her book, Hope Endures, describes Colette's life as a nun in the Missionaries of Charity.

Answer 4

Mother Teresa did not, herself, pen any books, but others took her writings and put them together into books, this is why you will often see books with Mother Teresa listed as the author along with someone else. Some of the books currently on sale which Mother listed as the author include (complete list at the link below). Most of the books about Mother Teresa cover in life in varying levels of detail and cover her spirituality, her complete surrender to Our Blessed Lord, and Her prayer.
