About This Event
Join us for a reading and conversation with Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk. Fr. Brian will discuss how Mother Teresa's work with the poor made her an icon of compassion to people of all religions. Little is known, however, about her own spiritual heights or her struggles. This collection of her writing and reflections sheds light on Mother Teresa’s interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time. This volume brings together letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the soul.About the speaker:
Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, Ph.D. is the postulator of the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta and director of the Mother Teresa Center.
This event is sponsored by:
