"Mother Teresa told countless pilgrims that the Christian calling was not to the slums of Calcutta. It was a call to go home -- to go to work -- to go to a party -- and love the people we find there in innumerable small ways. If you think that sounds easy, you probably haven't tried to live it. This book, from an author who knows, helps us to take nine small steps to the only greatness that matters." -- Mike Aquilina , author of A History of the Church in 100 Objects , and many other books "What if you could have nine days of spiritual conversations with Mother Teresa, listening to her lessons about life and love? As someone who knew her, I can tell you that this book captures that experience. In this novena, you can hear her voice and drink of her spirit." -- Fr. Frank Pavone , National Director, Priests for Life " Small Things With Great Love is another triumph for its gentle author, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle, whose friendship with Mother Teresa has once again opened for readers a window of remarkable intimacy and power into the life and wisdom of the unforgettable Saint of the Gutters.

Pray this novena and be profoundly blessed." -- Lisa Mladinich , author of Heads Bowed: Prayers for Catholic School Days "Donna-Marie's love for and friendship with Mother Teresa, and devotion to Jesus and Mother Mary, shines in this beautiful Novena book. Prior to each prayer, Donna-Marie shares memories, stories, or inspiring words of St. Teresa. I recommend Small Things with Great Love for all who know and appreciate the power of prayer and suggest you bless a friend with a copy as well." --Gail Buckley-Barringer , aka "the Bible Lady," Founder & President of Catholic Scripture Study International.
