The legendary Mother Teresa's work for—and among—the poor has become the yardstick by which the entire world measures compassion, generosity, and selflessness. Her words and actions have inspired millions of people from every race and religion and country to help the poor and needy, a legacy that is her gift to all mankind for generations to come.
From 1950, when she founded the order of Missionaries of Charity, to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, and then, in 1985, being awarded the Medal of Freedom—the United States' highest civilian award—to her final days, Mother Teresa served the world as a beacon shedding the light of hope, comfort, and peace on all.
Mother Teresa: In My Own Words is a timeless testament to the power of her words. Here are the same quotes, stories, and prayers that helped strengthen and inspire the poor, the dying, the suffering, and the doubting who she met during her lifetime, and that will continue to strengthen and inspire all who read them.

    I searched my journals after reading this book and I came to the page with a picture of Mother Teresa and Princess Diana. They died one after the other within 10 days. When the whole world were praising them both, I wrote the following bible scripture in my journal:

    [Jesus] looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
    And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
    For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

    Who had cast in more among the two ladies who died 10 years ago?
