August 27 is Mother Theresa's Birthday (1910)

New Book based on 60 letters sheds light

No one can argue that Mother Theresa was a blessing to many poor people, particularly those in Calcutta, one of the poorest places in the world. This petite nun worked tirelessly to help those who had nothing. In spite of her small stature she was a giant in fund raising. With her soft voice and mild manners she managed to obtain support for her deeds.
Ten years after her death a new book is in the works. Based on letters written by Mother Theresa, it sheds light on her most personal thoughts, her doubts. I am not particularly religious but always admired this woman who was able to do so much for so many. To me she has always represented unconditional Love and the ability to manifest solutions in spite of seemingly unsurmountable obstacles and the endless appearance of the task. The book is meant to aid in her canonization. Read more and see some of the letters in Mother Theresa's own handwriting.
