Matka Tereza Knihy

Mier je vzácny, nie je samozrejmosťou ani dnes. Pokoj sa začína v srdci každého z nás. Ak chceme prispieť k pokoju vo svete, ponúknime svoje ruky na pomoc a svoje srdce na lásku. Lebo láska je to najkrajšie, čo môžeme dať. Skúsme dnes obdarovať niekoho svojím úsmevom a zistíme, koľko dobra môže vyvolať jednoduchý úsmev. Matka Tereza, vlastným menom Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiuová, sa narodila 26. augusta 1910 v Macedónsku. Založila rehoľné spoločenstvo Kongregáciu misionárok lásky a je nositeľkou Nobelovej ceny za mier. Rozhodla sa starať sa o opustených a zomierajúcich ľudí v Indii. Jej život dodnes oslovuje mnohých. Zomrela 5. septembra v roku 1997 v Kalkate, v Indii. 4. septembra 2016 ju pápež František vyhlásil za svätú.

Pro každý den roku jsou zde připravena slova, příklady, podněty a modlitby Matky Terezy. Texty jsou často vybrány z dopisů nebo slov, v nichž poučuje Matka Tereza své sestry a bratry a uvádí je do křesťanského života. Do života se slibem chudoby, čistoty, poslušnosti a oddanosti chudým na celém světě.

The postulator for Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, has culled some of her most stirring words into a powerful book that her admirers will treasure. Jesus is My All in All follows the Roman Catholic novena format; derived from the Latin word for nine, the novena provides a nine-day rhythm of prayer and reflection. A prayer to Mother Teresa herself is the foundation for each day’s reflections, which illuminate such topics as: • Finding Jesus in your heart • Becoming convinced of Jesus’ love for you • Seeking guidance from Mary the Mother of Jesus • Drawing on Jesus’ thirst to quench the needs of those around you Accompanied by striking full-color images, JESUS IS MY ALL IN ALL immortalizes the words and wisdom of one of humanity’s most radiant women.

At the Home for the Dying in Calcutta, Mother Teresa often cared for the residents as they approached the end. As she was ministering to one illness-ravaged man, a visitor overheard her whisper a few words to him. These few words embody some of Mother Teresa’s most wonderful wisdom. This is what she said: You say a prayer in your religion, and I will say a prayer as I know it. Together we will say this prayer and it will be something beautiful for God.

In the space of 366 "words of wisdom", one for each day of the year, Mother Teresa of Calcutta meditates both upon prayer and upon the practical application of Jesus's message, a message of love for the poor and downcast. This book was originally published as "Jesus, the Word to be Spoken".

Mother Teresa describes the joy of surrendering oneself to Jesus Christ and leading a Christian life.

Her absolute conviction that she was doing God's will is well known but what is a revelation is the discovery that she fulfilled her mission in spite of feeling a chasm of spiritual emptiness within her, which lasted for decades.
