Story
Canonized on June 16, 2002, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) was a Capuchin monk and mystic whose life was marked with miracles and wonders, but who said that his only desire was “to be a poor friar who prays.” In this intimate biography, you will see the results of this humble Capuchin's prayers and discover for yourself the source of his great hope. This updated edition contains five new chapters covering the years between beatification and canonization, St. Pio’s continued work in people’s lives, and the devotion of St. John Paul II to this extraordinary saint.

In the COVID crisis, the beloved shepherd of over one billion Catholics saw the cruelty and inequity of our society exposed more vividly than ever before.

In direct, powerful prose, Pope Francis urges us not to let the pain be in vain. He begins Let Us Dream by exploring what this crisis can teach us about how to handle upheaval of any kind in our own lives and the world at large.

This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose and my strength, but also to finding my voice in a world that didn't always see me. As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let go of shame and find acceptance.

For 30 years, Lynn Wilder, once a tenured faculty member at Brigham Young University, and her family lived in, loved, and promoted the Mormon Church. Then, their son Micah, serving his Mormon mission in Florida, had a revelation: God knew him personally. God loved him. And the Mormon Church did not offer the true gospel. As Lynn tells her story of abandoning the deception of Mormonism to receive God's grace, she gives a rare look into Mormon culture, what it means to grow up Mormon, and why the contrasts between Mormonism and Christianity make all the difference in the world.

St. Therese of Lisieux (1873 - 1897) is one of the most popular saints in modern times. What makes her life so outstanding and such an inspiration to so many people? She had no sustained spiritual visions, unlike St. Bernadette of Soubirous before her or the three children of Fátima after her. She had no stigmata, was not a martyr, was not a teacher during her lifetime, and did not start a religious order.

Story
Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass.
Summary
This book includes correspondence (and context for understanding it) from Mother Teresa's early years in religious life and throughout her years as founder of a new religious community. This correspondence reveals Mother Teresa's struggles, doubts, and her sense of abandonment by God. These revelations can encourage and strengthen us as she reveals her abiding faith despite darkness and trials.
Missionary of Charity Father Brian Kolodiejchuk met Mother Teresa in 1977 and joined the Missionaries of Charity Fathers at the time of their foundation in 1984. He is postulator of the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta and director of the Mother Teresa Center.

"must-read" for all who care about spiritual life
Difficult to transmit the insight of this testimony of Mother Teresa. Most profound testament. She let herself to be a "victim" to the end. And even the fact that her personal letters remained for us all was against her human wishes. Thus she underwent a profound violence in human sense in many ways. I am immensely grateful to God for this.

True Mother to us all
Where does Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was highly enjoyable and spiritually deep book - even if not a religious person
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mother Teresa
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
Multiple voices made it easy to navigate through different people mentioned in the book and the voice of Mother Teresa did well fit her stature
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
yes - she was a Nobel laureate, who did so much, unlike some other recent laureates - who killed other people instead of helping anyone

Amazing book, narration didn't feel right
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it is beautiful.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The woman voicing Mother Teresa didn't really seem to capture her personality. Mother, at least according to times I have seen her talk and based upon peoples' descriptions of her, was a determined, focused, and almost spunky woman. The narrator in the audiobook had a breathy, sterile delivery that seemed almost stereotypical, like the porcelain statue of a saint.

What a wonderful life!
Her life, her story, her motives are so inspiring. We all know about her, but we don't really know her motives, why and how she did what she did. It is a beautiful story, very well told and is a privilege to have been immersed in her life for a while. I recommend this book to all who believe in service, to all who believe in God and his ways of doing things. He struggles made me realize mine have purposes too. What a great book!.

A narrater can kill a good book
Would you try another book from Brian Kolodiejchuk and/or the narrators?
The male narrators are ok it is the female narrator that makes Mother Theresa sound sickly sweet, and since this is mainly about Mother Theresa's writings, for me it was a major turn off
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes the book was good- the female narrator not so!

Such a different life than my own, yet still life-changing for me
At many times throughout this book I kept feeling as if I could not relate to the level of adoration, dedication, humbleness, and obsession that Mother Teresa had for her faith and for Jesus. Yet I found it fascinating nonetheless and was able to apply what I learned from Mother Teresa’s words to my own actions and behaviors in everyday life and in my faith. As a self-proclaimed introvert, since “listening” to this book, I have felt myself desiring to connect more with people both who I know and love, and whom I know nothing about. To smile at them, to bring light to the darkness. There is much to learn from Mother Teresa, even if we have chosen a life that does not resemble her path. A great read for many, even the novice in faith, which I believe myself to be. Of a different note, I found the letters between spiritual leaders to be an interesting insight into the inner workings and hierarchy of the Church. I found the narration to be fine!
