Mother Teresa's Lessons of Love and Secrets of Sanctity

Product Description

In the summer of 1986, 21-year-old Susan Conroy left her family and friends and headed off to Calcutta, India - alone - to assist the Missionaries of Charity. As an idealistic young volunteer, author Susan Conroy spent a summer serving in one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages and in the Home for the Dying. “In a city where I found hell on earth,” she says, “I also found each day a deep sense of peace and incredible happiness.” It was an experience that changed her life forever. Her goals for this journey were ambitious:

Work alongside Mother Teresa, actively trying to learn from her ways of selfless love, devotion, and service

Grow stronger in my faith

Grow in appreciation for what I have been given

Grow in concern for human life

Carry through life all that I will learn, and share this with others

Now, in a one-of-a-kind, first-person account with unique photographs, Susan Conroy takes you to Calcutta. "This is a story about how 'all things are possible with God,'" she writes. It is a treasury of the lessons of love that I learned from Mother Teresa and her beloved poorest of the poor."
