As one of the most widely
recognized personages of our times and acknowledged to be a saint even while
still alive, Mother Teresa became the personification of virtue and mercy. A
Call to Mercy is a compilation of her notes and writings, guidance she offered
to the nuns, speeches and interviews edited by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk,the
postulator in the cause of her canonization.
I found the format of the book particularly
appealing. Each one of its fourteen chapters is devoted to one of the seven
Corporal Works of Mercy or one of the seven Spiritual Works of Mercy. The
straight-forward wisdom of Mother Teresa’s words reach deep into your soul. A
focused reading of this book provides the reader with all the benefits of a
spiritual retreat without ever having to leave their home. I highly recommend it.
I received this book from
Blogging for Books for this review.
