Far fewer people many understand the real reason she is known for these many endearing and legendary qualities. "One Heart Full of Love" is a compellation of speeches and interviews by Mother Teresa, and it eloquently indicates just why she is so revered by the faithful. Her work took her faith around the globe, and her always-smiling face indicated the reverence of her faith and dedication to her work. Reading her own words will make it much easier for those who are unfamiliar with her works to get a better idea of what she believed and why she was so adamant about those beliefs.
