A collection of Mother Teresa's circular letters to the members of her congregation, the Missionaries of Charity Sisters, edited by Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., and published by the Catholic University of America Press in 2024. Written informally and often with little editing, the letters were not intended for readers outside the community; they were her way of being present to a rapidly expanding order. A bookseller's description gives them as running from 1959 to 1997, with appendices, notes, a concordance and an index.
