Seeing is Believing

Mother Teresa never wanted her life to be written about or paid attention to. Her intent when interviewed, was that the work was featured first and foremost. Writing of the work, however, regardless of the fluidity of the words, the impact of the passage or the transparency of the truth, nothing can ever truly project the work of Mother and the Missionaries of Charity. This picture volume however, comes one step closer. Featuring pictures taken of Mother and the sisters at their work among the poor in Calcutta, it is truly an eye-opening experience. The starkness of the black and white photographs bring out and bring across how lost and desolate the poor would be if not for the unchartered and unparalled love and care given to them. Every image, be it of Mother cradling a child with her intense look and stong hands or be it of Mother with Princess Diana or other celebrities, allows us a little glimpse into the world that has been made better by Mother. As she herself put it "What you can do, I cannot do and what I can do, you cannot do. But let every action of ours be something beautful for God". This is the very essence of the photographs depicted here and brings us this much closer to understanding the work of Mother and the Missionaries of Charity. A volume to be treasured. Indeed, it is something beautiful for God.
