Mother Teresa's work for, and among, the poor has become the yardstick by which millions measure compassion and generosity across religious and political divides. While Mother Teresa herself has always stressed action rather than words, it is the latter that have provided solace and hope for those who have not had the opportunity to meet her.
The quotations, stories and prayers that are collected in this book are hers - words that she has shared with the poor, the dying, the hurting and the sceptical, and that have moved men and women from every race and religious background to a new affirmation of faith.
