Messenger of God’s Love is based on private conversations with Mother, on her written advices and the Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity, describes Mother Teresa’s vision, ideal and mission. It is bound to interest and benefit all those who have followed with admiration the movement, certainly inspired and sustained by the 1 loIr Spirit, which she has initiated in the world. “I found this hook most interesting as it reveals an aspect of Mother Teresa’s personality and works not generally known by the public. It adds to the history of Mother Teresa and her work an entire dimension truly fascinating. It also shows admirably what a giant of mankind this woman is both as regards her human and her mystical characters. “Mother Teresa: Messenger of God’s Love completes wonderfully well the author’s first book We Do It for Jesus, which deals with the origins of Mother’s vocation. “Congratulations and thanks to the author for writing it.” — Dominique Lapierre
Father Edward Le Joly has been associated with Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity for more than twenty-five years, as spiritual adviser to the novices at the Mother House, and to the Sisters preparing for their final profession: their consecration to the service of Jesus for life. At Mother’s request, he wrote for the Sisters books of prayer and meditation, including the very popular Remain in My Love, on the Gospel of St John.
