Mother Teresa was one of the most fascinating and beloved figures of the 20th century. She took her cues directly from God, heard her life’s calling, pursued it single-mindedly, and lived with a sense of purpose so definite and powerful, it enabled her to literally change the world. She is an ultimate example of pure spirituality — a model for all of us who strive to connect with a higher power and tune into a higher calling, regardless of religious, political, or social affiliations and beliefs.
This extraordinarily moving documentary gives you an intimate, inspirational view of the daily life and inner workings of this remarkable spiritual soldier.
Through her own words, and the words of people who knew her and the women who served at her side, you’ll journey beyond the news clips, articles, and photographs of the tiny figure in the white and blue sari. You’ll discover a woman of fierce conviction, whose small frame belied great strength. A woman devoted to answering her divinely-appointed calling to be God’s love in action on earth. A woman who saved lives and changed them through the sheer force of her faith and determination.
You’ll experience image after image of the ways Mother Teresa and her sisters put their mission into action ... from giving food and medicine to the poor of Calcutta ...to spearheading a massive rescue of dozens of terrorized children from the war-ravaged buildings of Beirut ... to visiting with a lonely, frightened South Bronx woman and sweeping her floors.
Watching Mother Teresa work, hearing her speak, seeing her moments of connection, you will physically feel the love she gives to people and the love they respond with. When you do, you will understand exactly why this humble woman had such a monumental impact on humanity.
Most importantly, you will realize what it means to fully open your heart and mind to the call of the Spirit — and what incredible things you can accomplish when you do.
This is a film that should not be missed by anyone, young or old. Watching it is itself a spiritual experience. This profound portrait will affect you in an immediate and powerful way, and inspire you to hear and heed your own earthly calling.
