Blessed Mother Teresa: stories of consecrated life...


(Vatican Radio) Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta who died fifteen years ago, is perhaps one of the most outstanding examples of people in consecrated life.

One of those to work with her on a daily basis was Monsignor Leo Maasburg. He recently wrote a book drawn from the years spent with her as spiritual advisor.

The title of this book is 'Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a Personal Portrait: 50 inspiring stories never told before".. .

As Monsignor Maasburg, currently National Director of the Pontifical Missionary Societies in Austria tells Veronica Scarisbrick, the book sheds light on some of the lesser known aspects of Mother Teresa, including episodes relating to her travels from India to Rome, from Moscow to Cuba, to New York.

For Mother Teresa, Monsignor Maasburg highlights, the poorest of the poor were not only the people in Calcutta:"..find them in your own family , love them and put your love for God into a living action for them.... I believe she has told us a lot about what Christ meant when he said: 'love one another as I have loved you'..."
