Like a Drop in the Ocean by W Bader

Even though she never bore a child physically, Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu deserves the name by which everyone knows her: Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Her sayings reveal the qualities that we treasure in every mother: playfulness, compassion, humility, calmness, even handedness, and the ability to reprove wrongdoing with firmness and love and to maintain a sense of humor even in the most dire circumstances.

... an inspirational collection of sayings and truths from Mother Teresa. Like a Drop in the Ocean provides readers with an accurate and intimate feel for the encouraging and moving idol. Very strongly recommended as both an inspiring compendium and an exceptional gift for anyone troubled, confused, joyous, or content.

Born in Skopje in 1910, MOTHER TERESA joined the Sisters of Loreto in Dublin in 1928 and was sent to India, where she began her novitiate. She taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta from 1931 to 1948, until leaving the Loreto order to begin the Missionaries of Charity. Through her sisters, brothers, and priests, her service of the poorest of the poor spread all around the world. She won many awards, including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. After her death in 1997, the process for her sainthood was quickly begun and she was beatified in 2003.

FR. BRIAN KOLODIEJCHUK, M.C., Ph.D., was born in Winnipeg, Canada. He met Mother Teresa in 1977 and was associated with her until her death in 1997. He joined the Missionaries of Charity Fathers at the time of their foundation in 1984. Fr. Brian is postulator of the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta and director of the Mother Teresa Center.
