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

3.0

A fascinating book. I give it three stars because the book was compiled as part of the campaign to gain sainthood for Mother Theresa and the editorializing/connective tissue between MT's writings are a bit much. Her actual writings—letters, meditations, and so on—are fascinating and reveal a flawed woman doing her best and sacrificing all to serve those populations scorned and neglected. Most surprising was the fact that despite not feeling any sort of divine presence in her life for the last 45 years, Mother Theresa was able to serve hundreds of thousands of poor, ill, and dying individuals around the globe.
