The last paragraph in this book sums up Mother Teresa's story: "In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."Mother Teresa's life fleshed out "The Word was made flesh." She lived the Word of God's love among the poorest people in the world, especially India. While the elite classes in some countries avoid the poor as unclean, there are loving people who become oe with the poor in order to minister to them.As the author brings out so well, such ministry is not about being above those you serve. Teresa's prayer: "Make us worthy, Lord, to serve our fellow men throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger." Even if we have much to give to others and have warm feelings toward helping, we still might not be worthy to do so. God's grace enables us. As Mother Teresa discovered in well-to-do countries, it is shocking to see the "spiritual poverty amidst plenty."This book, even though short, nails down life's most importance principles. "Bring love into your home, if you really love God, begin by loving your child, your husband, your wife." That's just as important as serving in some mission field.Be inspired. Be instructed. Be transformed. The Life and Prayers of Mother Teresa will motivate you to grow as a servant child of God, no matter your religious belief.
