Many people have wondered where Mother Teresa found the motivation and the strength to give herself so totally to loving the poorest of the poor. This little book provides us with an answer. Collected here are Mother Teresa's favourite prayers; many written by herself, others which she and the Sisters of Charity used on a daily basis. Together they provide an intimate and rare portrait of a modern day saint for whom work and prayer were inseparable. Her days began and ended with prayer, and every activity was rooted in attentive listening to God. Mother Terra.' Prayer Book is therefore the ideal daily spiritual companion for all who are seeking to know and do God's will.

Daily readings from Scripture and prayes.

The self-educated man who left school at fifteen and is interested in Wordsworth and Ruskin... can hold down the job of a headmaster and can write English prose in letters to the Press!' --The Revd Professor Owen Chadwick
