Completely Christ's: Mother Teresa (2007)

This disc contains a morning and an afternoon address delivered by Mother Teresa in 1981 to a conference of women and men who have taken vows in religious orders, followed by a brief QA session where her pithy, honest answers are refreshing. The sustained focus of her remarks is how to attain closeness to the Son and do His will. Even though I believe she is one of a handful of the most inspirational and world-changing individuals of the last century, I had never seen or heard her speak before. (Photo ops on TV news don’t make the grade.) Consider renting this disc, especially if you are spiritual, if for no other reason than to hear this completely ordinary yet spiritually phenomenal person speak in her own words. Start with the QA, if you like: When asked if her order is active politically, she replies to laughter _Oh, we don't have time for that!_ but then explains that she cannot love everyone equally if she belonged to a political party. (This disc is part of a two-disc set, so the description mentioning Father BG and MP refers to the other disc.) 3 stars. (1-27-16)
