Mother Teresa's Lessons of Love and Secrets of Sanctity
Susan Conroy made her first trip to Calcutta to work with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity in 1986. In 1987, at the request of Mother Teresa herself, Susan spent two weeks in the Order's convent in the South Bronx, New York, in contemplation of the religious life. During these two weeks, a time she calls "the most profoundly meaningful experience of my life, " Susan came to know Saint Thér;èse; of Lisieux, who has had as great an impact on Susan's life as Mother Teresa. Susan did not enter the Order, but in 1991, during Lent, she once again returned to Calcutta to work with the Sisters among the dying destitutes.She and Mother Teresa kept up their correspondence until Mother's death in 1997. Today, in addition to her work as a tax specialist, Susan translates the works of Saint Thér;èse; of Lisieux from French into English for several publishing houses. Mother Teresa's Lessons of Love and Secrets of Sanctity is Susan's first book.
