Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light: The Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta by Brian Kolodiejchuk

2.0

Mother Theresa lived an amazing life and is a model of someone who dedicated her life to following Jesus and helping others. I found this book interesting as it showed her journey through life in her own words. Yet I was not engaged because after a while it became redundant. The basic story is that she heard Jesus tell her to start the Missionaries of Charity and after that got going she lived in darkness, hearing only silence from God. We can learn a lot from her enduring this silence, seeing it as a sharing in the suffering of Christ. But reading her letters mention the same silence over and over again caused me to struggle to stay in tune. Perhaps a biography with better commentary on her life would be more engaging.
