A Call to Mercy: Hearts to Love, Hands to Serve

From the beloved saint for our troubled times. Published to coincide with Pope Francis?ÇÖs Year of Mercy and the Vatican?ÇÖs canonization of Mother Teresa in September 2016, this new book of unpublished material from the Nobel Peace Prize winner brings together the holy woman?ÇÖs teachings on mercy and compassion.

For millions of Catholics and believers from all walks of life, Mother Teresa?ÇÖs canonization is providentially taking place during Pope Francis?ÇÖs Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, which is entirely fitting because she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God?ÇÖs mercy to those in need.

In this beautiful book by a thought leader whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, Mother Teresa offers her deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our day-to-day lives. A Call to Mercy covers such topics as the need for us to visit the sick and imprisoned, to honor the dead and to inform the ignorant, to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly, to feed the poor and pray for all. Ultimately, it is about creating heaven on earth through personal service to others.

Featuring testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these ideas into practice, A Call to Mercy is not only a lovely keepsake, but a living testament to the teachings of a saint whose ideas are important, necessary, and relevant in the 21st century.
