Far fewer people many understand the real reason she is known for these many endearing and legendary qualities. "One Heart Full of Love" is a compellation of speeches and interviews by Mother Teresa, and it eloquently indicates just why she is so revered by the faithful. Her work took her faith around the globe, and her always-smiling face indicated the reverence of her faith and dedication to her work.
Reading her own words will make it much easier for those who are unfamiliar with her works to get a better idea of what she believed and why she was so adamant about those beliefs. Throughout this short but memorable volume, her words illustrate passion, dedication, and a deep commitment to help others in the name of Jesus Christ and the Church. There are few who could represent themselves or their work so well, and some of the passages will make you marvel. At one point she says, "We spend Rs 20,000 a week just on food for the 59 centres we have in Calcutta" (Mother Teresa 61). How could such a small, seemingly insignificant...
The editor has done a masterful job of choosing the essays and interviews that show this woman at her best, and any reader who is not familiar with the ins and outs of Mother Theresa's work would do well to pick up this book first, before delving into more detailed biographies and studies.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about Mother Teresa and her many accomplishments. However, I would also recommend it to those who may be faltering in their faith or questioning their Church. Reading this book and discovering the dedication and love of this amazing woman could just help restore your faith in your Church and humankind.

Love In the Symposium, Socrates repeats the words of Diotima that love “is of the good’s being one’s own always” (Symposium 268). These words essentially get to the heart of Augustine’s own feelings towards his mother Monica, who would be recognized by the Church as a saint: as Augustine observes, she was faithful to God all her life, dutiful to her husband, careful of her children and always laboring to serve

Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now Comparing and Contrasting Coppola's Apocalypse with Conrad's Darkness While Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now is framed by the music of The Doors, Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness, upon which the film is based, uses the narration of Marlow as a framing device for the murky tale of the "horror" that hides in the human heart. The difference in framing devices has more to do with
Love Med Love and Loss in Love Medicine The sad narrative of life on an Indian Reservation is one that cannot be told within the scope of a single generation. Instead, it must relayed across multiple interconnected generations persisting within a beleaguered collective culture. In many ways, this is the only way to gain a nuanced understanding of the way tribal life now persists, splintered by the invasion of the European lifestyle

Love and Art (or music as art) and fiery passion are intimately intertwined in Lucy's vision. In
