La Madre Teresa consideró a todos los seres humanos hermanos suyos, pero siempre supo que los más pobres entre los pobres eran los hijos predilectos de un Dios que para ella asumía el rostro de Aquel a quien consagró su vida: Jesús de Nazaret. Y a ellos dedicó su existencia. Sus escritos nada tienen que ver con la brillantez literaria ni con la fascinación narrativa, sino con la autenticidad de una vida entregada, con su credibilidad y confianza. Nada en ella obedeció a proyecto alguno previo, ni ella hizo otra cosa que seguir con fidelidad los pasos que Alguien le fue marcando.

During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions, and none. Her selfless commitment to the care of the sick and the dying, as well as to thousands of others who no one else was prepared to help, has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world.Yet this impressive collection of her writings shows a different and unexpected picture of the Nobel Peace Prize winner. 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. This book is a moving chronicle of her spiritual journey and it reveals the secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. It also illustrates how the experience of an agonizing sense of loss need not hold anyone back from doing something extraordinary with their lives.
