Beata - Teresa De Calcuta - Madre Libros

La Madre Teresa de Calcuta ha aparecido en nuestro siglo como un signo de bondad y de luz. Tal es la fuerza que emana de esta mujer llena de ánimos para inventar y emprender, llena de humildad y cordialidad para acoger. Estas páginas nos transmiten algo del fervor que la anima. Conversaciones, cartas, textos de reflexión para sus comunidades... Nada en ellas parece extraordinario, a no ser -y ahí radica su plenitud- el hecho de que cada una de estas palabras lleva la firma de una vida transformada por la fe y el amor. Solidaria con los más pobres, entregada sin reservas al servicio de los demás, iniciadora y organizadora infatigable de obras de apoyo en todos lo puntos del globo donde surge la miseria, la Madre Teresa está invadida por la verdad del amor. Ni en su boca ni en su pluma aparecen frases edificantes perfectamente modeladas: son palabras verdaderas que traducen una vida comprometida hasta el agotamiento. No existe la menor señal de ruptura entre lo que dice y escribe y lo que vive y hace. Es la señal de los santos. El Premio Nobel de la paz 1979 es el reconocimiento universal a una vida y una obra que costituyen un verdadero aldabonazo a nuestra ceguera ante la injusticia de este mundo nuestro y a nuestras posibilidades de redimirlo por el amor.

Known around the globe for her indefatigable work on behalf of the poor, the sick, and the dying, Mother Teresa has devoted her life to giving hope to the hopeless in more than one hundred and twenty countries. She inspires us all to find a way to translate our spiritual beliefs into action in the world. How has one woman accomplished so much? And what are the guiding principles that have enabled this humble nun to so profoundly effect the lives of millions? Now, in her own words, Mother Teresa shares the thoughts and experiences that have led her to do her extraordinary charitable work. A candid look at her everyday life--at the very simplicity and self-sacrifice that give her the strength to move mountains--A Simple Path gives voice to the remarkable spirit who has dedicated her life to the poorest among us. Just as important as her beliefs are how they are put into action in the world, and A Simple Path also tells the story of the founding of the Missionaries of Charity, their purpose and practice, and the results of their tireless work. Through faith, surrender, and prayer, the missionaries live to serve others; they have improved the lives of countless souls and given dignity to the dying. Their mission has also produced a ripple effect, spreading human compassion to communities where there is need. Through these examples, as well as the uplifting words and guiding prayers of Mother Teresa and those who work with her, everyone can learn how to walk the simple path that Mother Teresa has laid out for us, to help create a truly kinder world for the future. A Simple Path is a unique spiritual guide for Catholics and non-Catholics alike: full of wisdom and hope from the one person who has given us the greatest model of love in action in our time.
