DESCRIPTION At the Home for the Dying in Calcutta, Mother Teresa often cared for the residents as they approached the end. As she was ministering to one illness-ravaged man, a visitor overheard her whisper a few words to him. These few words embody some of Mother Teresa's most wonderful wisdom. This is what she said:
These gentle words of solace and care provide us with a glimpse at a Mother Teresa we've often overlooked: Mother Teresa the universal teacher of prayer. The world has admired the Mother Teresa who devoted her life to caring for the poorest of the poor everywhere. But, her close associates knew that all of Mother Teresa's outer activity of caring and action was the natural consequence of her devotion, the overflow of her deep inner life. They witnessed her reliance upon contemplative practice, and they recognized Mother Teresa not only as a devout Catholic, but also as a great ecumenical teacher of prayer. Everything Starts From Prayer is also available as a Kindle Edition for Amazon’s wireless reading device. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Anthony Stern REVIEWS Mother Teresa was one of the great spiritual servants of our era, whose simple wisdom expressed untold depths of devotion. In this treasury of her thoughts on prayer, she offers the world another blessing. ~ President Jimmy Carter, author of Living Faith Using this book on prayer, please remember that Mother Teresa always prayed with her actions, her life. Mind, speech, and body in perfect oneness, that is the solid ground of authentic meditation. The moment you start praying that way, peace, love, and transformation begin to take place, within yourself and around you. You do not have to wait for the result in the future. Mother Teresa says: "the fruit of prayer is faith, love, service, and peace. All of these take place in the present moment." Enjoy praying with her. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, author of Living Buddha, Living Christ Mother Teresa's life was a living prayer. Her words remind us of her connection with God and how all of us can reach Him as she did. ~ Marianne Williamson, author of Illuminated Prayers Dr. Stern deserves to be congratulated for Everything Starts from Prayer, an inspiring book intended to foster the spiritual life of people of all faiths or none. We hope and pray that many readers will find it an invitation to pray.— ~ Father Edward Le Joly, Mother Teresa's spiritual advisor ENDORSEMENTS This book's contents and its title say it all. Whatever you are looking for starts with prayer. Hopefully you will read and learn that true prayer is not about personal desires, needs, or religions. Mother Teresa is a role model for each of us. Pray we may become what she was, and heal the world by using prayer to lead us on the path to spirituality and God. ~ Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine and Miracles With the publication of Everything Starts from Prayer, Mother Teresa continues to bless us from beyond the grave. These kernels of truths from the nun of Calcutta provide food for the soul. Her messages, though short on words, are deep in wisdom and spiritual insight, and hold meaning for people of all faiths. How do we start praying? Dr. Anthony Stern gives us a great gift. In this magnificent collection of Mother Teresa's words, we are shown how to cultivate our inner lives and bring forth the prayers that live within us. These beautiful prayer instructions transcend all boundaries of time and space. Here Mother Teresa is a universal figure reaching out from soul-to-soul to all those who pray or long to pray. May her words reach many and open hearts. A jewel of a book ... a must for believers of all faiths and for seekers everywhere. Dr. Stern's editorial hand is sure and judicious; the selection of material reveals the mystical realization behind Mother Teresa's powerful encomium to prayer in an all-inclusive sense. Thus, the passages are not only spiritually inspiring (as one would, of course, expect), but intellectually compelling as well. Well done. Dr. Stern has very sensitively and carefully given us the essence of a truly spiritual person, and in the process helped make prayer in our own lives more rewarding. With this simple, beautiful book, Dr. Stern has done a wonderful job making Mother Teresa's thoughts on man's relationship to God accessible to all. Somewhere, Mother Teresa must be smiling. |
