A book published by Servant Books in 1985 (140 pages), edited and introduced by Brother Angelo Devananda (Angelo Devananda Scolozzi), later co-founder with her of a branch of the Missionaries of Charity family. It opens with an introduction to her life and spiritual vision, followed by a selection of the writings and instructions by which she formed and guided the Missionaries of Charity, including material from their constitutions and her letters and retreats; a book listing also notes the rule of life of the Universal Brothers of the Word, a contemplative association she founded. Servant reissued it in revised form in 1990 as Total Surrender.
