7 Days with Mother Teresa

Experience a one-of-a-kind retreat with Mother Teresa in this inspirational series.

Mother Teresa (1910–1997) touched the hearts of people around the world with her charity, compassion, and faith. Now, you can join gifted professor, author, and contemplative retreat leader Fr. Donald Goergen, O.P., for a series of life-changing conferences focused on Mother Teresa’s teachings. This retreat is designed to capture your spiritual imagination and deepen your life with Christ.

Born Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, which ministered to the poorest of the poor. In Calcutta, she carried out Christ''s message of welcoming the least fortunate among us—orphans, refugees, lepers, the mentally ill, and many others.

Acutely aware of the plight of the poor and the demands of the Gospel, Mother Teresa grounded in her commitment to Christ and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Faith, however, did not always come easily to this saintly woman; like so many of us, she struggled with "dark nights of the soul" and spiritual dryness. She saw herself as a mystic of darkness, finding Christ in a cloud of unknowing.

In this retreat, you will explore Blessed Teresa''s powerful impact on the world. You will also see how her spiritual struggles and ultimate triumph can inspire you today. Let Mother Teresa accompany you and offer wise counsel in your journey to eternal life.
