Experiencing Jesus With Mother Teresa

by Jean Maalouf

The story of Blessed Mother Teresa—who has been called the most revered and the most powerful woman of the past century—is simply an extraordinary love story. Jesus Christ was her beloved and the center of her entire life. Each of the seventeen meditations in this book is meant to encourage readers to experience Jesus by learning how Mother Teresa herself experienced Jesus. This newly revised and expanded edition of Praying with Mother Teresa covers the main themes of her unique spirituality, which focused on seeing Christ in all she met, especially in the poorest of the poor. Each meditation includes opening and closing prayers, biographical information about her life, words from Mother Teresa and Scripture, and questions for reflection. As readers pray through each meditation, they will be inspired by their own experience of Jesus to shine with his light, as Mother Teresa did, to all whom they encounter each day.

I was reluctant to start this book. But now I am glad I did. The author did a wonderful job of showing the saintliness of this lady. The book was divided into fifteen meditations on Mother Teresa's life and beliefs. Her whole life was centered on God. Her favorite comment was that she was God's pencil, to spread His love throughout the world. It was just amazing to see what God did through His "pencil." She never had to ask for anything; God just provided. There are other books in this series "Praying with...," and I intend to read some of the others. This book was so worthwhile.
