Katie McCloskey was forever changed by the privilege of working under Mother Teresa, one of history's great humanitarians, and the sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, attending to God's poor, the needy, the lonely, and the abandoned. In her tours of service in India, Katie, along with her fellow volunteers, found her own life transformed as she helped uplift the lives of others.In this vivid, compelling account of her time in Calcutta, Katie offers anyone with an open heart the means to share in the exuberance one can find in even the most horrifying of circumstances. Her stories illuminate how closeness to human beings who are neglected and discarded is closeness to God. To be sure, Katie learned that "only God could give us the courage, the perseverance, and the grace we needed to serve the poorest of the poor," but Mother Teresa and the sisters showed her how a personal commitment to others is a path to genuine joy and true self-fulfillment.Whether we journey to India or simply serve our family and community, The Calling shows how we can use our love, skills, time, and talents to renew not just the lives of others but also our own.
