Life with Mother Teresa: My Thirty Year Friendship with the Mother of the Poor - Softcover

"Reading Father Sebastian's book requires having the courage of committing oneself, of getting one's hands dirty...of converting oneself always and again to Christ. With humility and clarity Father Sebastian calls you to write now--immediately--your biography. There is no time to lose. In order to do this, he suggests that you too live the experience of being a 'small pencil' in God's hands, using Mother Teresa's very effective expression."

In this book, Fr. Sebastian tells not only the stories of the founding of the Contemplative and the Lay Missionaries, but also provides fresh insight into Mother Teresa who was "timid and very sensitive by nature," according to the author, but who surrendered everything to God in order to serve him in the poor. Through unedited letters, photos and anecdotes ranging from Mother Teresa's childhood in Albania to the memory loss of her later years, the reader gains a new portrait of both Mother Teresa and the inner spirit of the Missionaries of Charity.
