The world was shocked when the letters of Mother Teresa were
published last year for the first time. The media focused attention
at once on the unexpected phenomenon of darkness in the life of the
saint, the astonishing revelation that, for decades, Mother Teresa
had struggled mightily with belief in God. To some, this seemed to
lend support to the arguments of the "new atheists." But what we
are offered in this beautiful book is, at last, a serious grappling
with the deeper meaning of her darkness, a work of sharp and
unusual insight, written by someone who knew her.
In this intimate look at her "private writings," Paul Murray
illumines the meaning of a life which is only now beginning to be
understood.
"I Loved Jesus in the Night" is one priest's compelling account
of meeting with the saint of Calcutta. Sharing anecdotes and
first-hand experiences, Paul Murray offers a glimpse into why
Mother Teresa could declare, in one of her letters, that if ever
she were to "become a saint," she would surely be one of
"darkness."
This very personal yet powerful book is an attempt to come to
terms with the dark night experiences endured by Mother Teresa in
the light of the Gospel and the mystical teachings of St John of
the Cross. And something else as well...revelations of Mother
Teresa's sense of humor
