Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, Mother Teresa humbly accepted it on behalf of the poorest of the poor to whom she joyfully dedicated her life. Truly a saint for the 20th century, she taught compassion not only for the sick and destitute, but also for the lonely, neglected, and unappreciated who surround us every day.

Among Mother Teresa's concerns were those that plague modern Christians everywhere: abortion, child abuse and neglect, the lack of love in modern family life, and AIDS, which she called "the leprosy of the West." She gave strength and inspiration to her Missionaries of Charity, and through them her joyful commitment to Christ continues on.

The dual narration by Ruth Ann Phimister and George Guidall, as fervent as a prayer, inspires listeners with Mother Teresa's simple yet profound message about the value and meaning of life. This diminutive, self-effacing nun's call to love is a bright beacon of hope in an increasingly self-centered world.
