Excerpted from a Simple Path Compiled by Lucinda Vardey

'Works of love are always works of joy.'

'Do we look at the poor with compassin? They are hungry not only for food, they are hungry to be recognized as human beings.'

'There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God.'

These reich words of wisdom and conviction are among the pearls of thought found in Meditations from A Simple Path. Comprised of luminous selections culled from the New York Times bestseller, this warm and very loving volume is a joyful celebration of prayer, faith, love, service, and peace.

Profound and uplifting, this elegant book will provide a tremendous source of inspiration for you or someone you love. It is brimming with timeless messages for us all.

Born in 1910 in Albania, Mother Teresa went to Loreto Abbey, Rathfarnham, Dublin, in 1928 and from there to India where she began her novitiate. She taught geography in St. Mary's High School in Calcutta from 1929 to 1948. Then in 1950, she started her own order, the Missionaries of Charity, to minister exclusively to the poorest of the poor. She has won many awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize, and has founded hundreds of homes throughout the world.
