Francis of Assisi and Teresa of Kolkata

Description

Francis of Assisi and Teresa of Calcutta—two Saints who lived seven centuries apart! Yet they had a lot in common and their lives had tremendous impact on the people of their time. Two revolutionaries—rebels, if you wish—who had the courage to embark on radical ways of following Christ. In this beautiful book Fr Aloysius Kattady compares and contrasts the two lives, highlighting how each of them, though in different epochs and cultures, lived out the Gospel values in a radical and heroic way. The author goes on to analyze how these two lives were characterized by poverty, humility and service in a world caught up in the grip of greed, luxury, power and pleasure. As you finish this book, you will feel grateful to the author because the lives of Francis and Teresa will have touched yours—and deeply indeed!
