Known around the globe for her indefatigable work on behalf of the poor, the sick, and the dying, Mother Teresa has devoted her life to giving hope to the hopeless in more than one hundred and twenty countries. She inspires us all to find a way to translate our spiritual beliefs into action in the world. How has one woman accomplished so much? And what are the guiding principles that have enabled this humble nun to so profoundly effect the lives of millions?
Now, in her own words, Mother Teresa shares the thoughts and experiences that have led her to do her extraordinary charitable work. A candid look at her everyday life--at the very simplicity and self-sacrifice that give her the strength to move mountains--A Simple Path gives voice to the remarkable spirit who has dedicated her life to the poorest among us.
Just as important as her beliefs are how they are put into action in the world, and A Simple Path also tells the story of the founding of the Missionaries of Charity, their purpose and practice, and the results of their tireless work. Through faith, surrender, and prayer, the missionaries live to serve others; they have improved the lives of countless souls and given dignity to the dying. Their mission has also produced a ripple effect, spreading human compassion to communities where there is need.
Through these examples, as well as the uplifting words and guiding prayers of Mother Teresa and those who work with her, everyone can learn how to walk the simple path that Mother Teresa has laid out for us, to help create a truly kinder world for the future.
A Simple Path is a unique spiritual guide for Catholics and non-Catholics alike: full of wisdom and hope from the one person who has given us the greatest model of love in action in our time.

Review

We have all been created for greater things -- to love and to be loved. Love is love -- to love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Works of love are works of peace and purity. Works of love are always a means of Becoming closer to God, so the more we help each other, the more we really love God better by loving each other. Jesus very clearly said, 'Love one another as I have loved you,' Love in action is what gives us grace. We pray and, if we are able to love with a whole heart, then we will see the need. Those who are unwanted, unloved, and uncared for become just a throwaway of society -that's why we must really make everybody feel wanted.

"There is something else to remember -- that this kind of love begins at home. We cannot give to the outside what we don't have on the inside. This is very important. If I can't see God's love in my brother and sister then how can I see that love in somebody else? How can I give it to somebody else? Everybody has got some good. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there."

From the Publisher

This book is simply priceless. It's Mother Teresa's autobiography, which she crafted with writer Lucinda Vardey, a few years before she passed away. This book gives voice to a remarkable spirit who has dedicated her life to the poorest among us and given us the greatest model of love in action in our time.

A SIMPLE PATH not only offers a candid look at Mother Teresa's everyday life, but collects her spiritual wisdom. What we find is a simple path for us to follow so that we, too, can create a truly kinder world for the future. Mother Teresa may no longer be here on earth, but her spirit is alive today, in her works of goodness and kindness, and in each of us. --E. Zack, Senior Editor

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997) also known as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, MC, was an Albanian Roman Catholic religious sister and missionary. She was born in Skopje (modern Macedonia), then part of the Kosovo Vilayet in the Ottoman Empire. After having lived in Macedonia for some eighteen years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life.

Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which in 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters and was active in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; dispensaries and mobile clinics; children's and family counselling programmes; orphanages; and schools. Members must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, as well as a fourth vow, to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor".

Mother Teresa was the recipient of numerous honours, including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. In 2003, she was beatified as "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta". A second miracle was credited to her intercession by Pope Francis, in December 2015, paving the way for her to be recognised as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

A controversial figure both during her life and after her death, Mother Teresa was widely admired by many for her charitable works. She was both praised and criticized for her pro-life views. She also received criticism for conditions in the hospices for which she was responsible. Her official biography was written by an Indian civil servant, Navin Chawla, and published in 1992.

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a simple book that gives us the way of life of a great Saint. It is truly simple, so simple, that, if we pay close attention to the prayers, advice, and example, we can, if we wish follow her spiritual path to becoming the saints that God is calling us to be, no matter what our past has been like, or how many mistakes we have made, or how weak we are. We just need to take this book in hand, and keep on reading it until we understand it better and better, and begin by doing the little things we know we need to do, right where we are now, and do them with the most love we can muster, and ask God to fill us up with more love as we go. It really is that simple, that is why this book is entitled "A Simple Path". And keep in mind, it was written by a canonized Saint.

What a role model!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020

This is more about a woman I've admired over the past 30 years. She was a reflection of God's love to the poorest of the poor and for those of us who can't even began to comprehend poverty; physical and emotional. How do you comprehend the child you gave birth to, fed and cared for to the very best of your ability throwing you out into the street to die, or worse, taking you to the garbage dump!! ...and understand the love of a woman who's never seen you before, picking you up in her arms, comforting you and taking you home to bath and feed and medicate and hold you while you die... reassuring you that all is going to be well. And you believe her cause she believes it.

This book is filled with wisdom of the simplicity of life’s journey to Heaven. Mother Teresa showed us in her living works of charity with how to be happy on earth. Such joy she shared to our recipe towards peace on earth. Her lessons were not a garden of roses, but, no matter what, we are to give of ourselves to show God to other people.

Make your family a family of prayer by MOTHER TERESA WAY. FOR SHE IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN AND HUMAN BEING. Her encourageing us to pray together, love and share and love till it hurts and love one another just as Lord Jesus did is so nice. She is a true teacher of Christianity. I have a lot of books on her like 'come be my light' and 'No greater love' and the 'Everything starts from prayer' is not with me and I want to buy but the prices of some of these books are unreal.
But I pray to own that beautiful book which I read in the library. It's a must buy. I also have the book 'where there is love there is god.'. Thankyou amazon for putting these books in the lists. HARI OM TAT SAT. HARE KRSNA.
