This book was interesting because it gave me an idea what the life of a nun in the Missionaries of Charity was like. I had never thought about what it would be like to be a nun but to be a nun in the group started by Mother Teresa would be even more difficult because they are to have nothing. They are to live in poverty like the people that they are helping. I can understand why Mother Teresa would want this, but it would be very difficult to live it.
I do not know much about the Catholic religion so this book was a little harder to read because of all the things I didn’t know. I did not understand the Hail Mary and penances as well as I would have liked. I found it interesting that the nuns seemed to have problems with their vows often.
This book gave me a look at the life of a nun, but it also gave me a better perspective on Mother Teresa. She was a good woman and did a lot of good, but it is also good to know that she struggled with her relationship with God. She also had struggles in her life that without a book like this we might never know about.
Thank you for a wonderful book that made me think about my own walk with God, and what that means to me.
