Movie Review: ‘Mother Teresa: No Greater Love’

NEW YORK – The life of one of the most compelling of modern saints is recounted in the inspiring documentary “Mother Teresa: No Greater Love” (Fathom, in select theaters Oct. 3-4). Its release timed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its subject’s death, aged 87, the film also provides an exploration of her long-lasting legacy.

Filmmaker David Naglieri uses archival footage and dramatizations to chronicle the famed nun’s journey from obscurity to global celebrity. Born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in what is now North Macedonia, she was the daughter of a prosperous and politically involved Kosovar businessman and his deeply pious wife.

Her initial vocation was to the education-oriented Sisters of Loreto. But a mystical experience she termed “the call within the call” eventually led the successful teacher to undertake a very different mission: tireless work among the poorest of the poor in India and beyond. Steady growth in the number of her co-workers in this challenging endeavor resulted in the establishment of the Missionaries of Charity in 1950.

Naglieri employs Mother Teresa’s biography as a framework within which to examine the current activities of the Missionaries. His globetrotting survey of their many projects – they staff more than 750 facilities around the world – ranges from South America and Haiti to the United States, Africa, the Philippines and, of course, the Subcontinent, where it all began.

Boldly pro-life, Mother Teresa was also a pioneer in providing fearless medical care to AIDS patients in the early days of the disease, a time when many people shunned them. Another topic Naglieri touches on is her longstanding friendship with St. John Paul II, a bond of mutual understanding and appreciation that required little verbal expression.

Fans of Hollywood movies will be especially intrigued by an interview with actor Mark Wahlberg’s brother Jim. Once an addict and a convict, he attributes his devout Catholic faith – and thus the radical reform of his life – to a visit Mother Teresa paid to the prison in which he was incarcerated.

Now a religious family made up of several branches, all dedicated to the faithful following of their founder’s demanding spirituality, the Missionaries continue to tend to the needs of the forgotten and the outcast. Uplifting but overlong, this study of their heroic service – which was produced by the Knights of Columbus – is a soul-nourishing experience.

Look for: A celebration of sanctity.

Look out for: Potentially disturbing images of civil strife and illness and mature themes.

The Catholic Moviegoer’s guidance is T – suitable for mature teens. Not rated by the Motion Picture Association.

What You Need To Know:

Miscellaneous Immorality: There’s a short section on charities started by Mother Teresa in the 1980s to minister to dying AIDS patients that acknowledges most victims of the disease were men who engaged in homosexual practices or took illegal intravenous drugs.

More Detail:

MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE is a Fathom Events documentary that showcases Catholic charities for “the poorest of the poor” started by and inspired by Mother Teresa, interspersed with a narrative about the life of Mother Teresa, including some brief dramatic reconstructions of her life without dialogue, footage of Mother Teresa helping needy people, and footage of her speaking about her faith and her charity work. MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE is a moving, inspiring tribute to Mother Teresa, her charity work and the many people who continue that work, and the movie has a strong Christian, biblical, moral worldview that puts Jesus first, at the center of everything, but there are some images of people sick, dying and missing limbs that may disturb younger children.

While newsreel footage shows Mother Teresa helping and meeting people, the movie opens with Mother Teresa saying that hunger isn’t only about desiring a loaf of bread, but also a hunger for love. She adds that people also long for dignity and respect and notes that the man lying in the street is a child of God. Various people who knew her then discuss the “commanding presence” they felt when being with her. They say she manifested simplicity and holiness.

From there, the movie showcases the various Catholic charities for “the poorest of the poor” that Mother Teresa started and inspired, beginning with her charity in Calcutta, India, the Missionaries of Charity. That charity was begun in 1950, after she served for many years as a teacher and headmistress at a school in Calcutta run by her order, the Sisters of Loreto. The filmmakers travel around the world visiting some of these charities.

Interspersed within these visits are some historical recreations of Mother Teresa’s life, with no dialogue. Also included is historical footage of Mother Teresa in Calcutta and various places around the world where one of her charities was established. Also included is footage of her with Pope John Paul II, a strong supporter.

Mother Teresa became famous in 1969 when Christian conservative journalist Malcolm Muggeridge headed a BBC program about her. Eventually, Mother Teresa not only became an advocate for the poor and needy, but also an advocate for the unborn.

MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE is a moving, inspiring tribute to Mother Teresa, her charity work and the many people who continue that work. Even better, the movie has a strong Christian, biblical, moral, pro-life worldview. Throughout the movie, Mother Teresa and her supporters and co-workers put Jesus first, at the center of everything. NO GREATER LOVE also extols many positive values, including love, hope, human dignity, compassion for the sick, dying, poor, and needy, and service. Mother Teresa’s lifelong commitment to service is seen as a commitment to Jesus and to divine love.

That said, the movie contains some content that orthodox Protestants and other Christians might find objectionable or false.

For example, NO GREATER LOVE has a few references to Mother Teresa now being an “intercessor” in Heaven between people on Earth and Jesus. Protestants contend, however, that the Bible teaches in 1 Timothy 2:5 there is only “one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ.” Some Catholics point out, however, that being an “intercessor” is not the same as being a mediator, especially in the way that this verse teaches. Other Catholics, though, seem to equivocate on the two terms. Their arguments don’t seem as convincing to MOVIEGUIDE®, but we could be wrong.

MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE also has some brief expressions of borderline antinomian attitudes. For example, at one point, Mother Teresa is shown saying that she has a non-judgmental approach when it comes to helping “the poorest of the poor.” This idea is specifically related to Mother Teresa’s work with poor mothers who’ve had children out of wedlock and to homosexuals and intravenous drug users dying of AIDS. It is certainly true that a poor or needy person shouldn’t be deprived of help because of their past sins, even if one or more of their sins directly led to their problem. For instance, you wouldn’t deny medical help to a drunk driver who suffers an injury in a car wreck caused by his immoral, illegal behavior. That said, we shouldn’t let our compassion and love for a poor or needy person dilute our moral or biblical standards, or God’s Justice. Thus, God tells the Jews in Exodus 23:3 not to show favoritism to a poor person in a lawsuit, and Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 2:10, “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.”

Mother Teresa also says in the movie she doesn’t discriminate against people of other faiths when it comes to helping the poor and needy. Her brief comments here suggest that people of other faiths actually may have a saving relationship with Jesus. Not if they overtly reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, though, another Christian should and would reply. (Sadly, a spirit of heretical universalism has crept into many churches and denominations at the highest levels, including the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and many mainline Protestant denominations. Helping a poor or needy person of another religion or ideology shouldn’t stop or prevent a Christian from telling that poor or needy person to turn away from their sins, believe in Jesus and follow the teachings of the New Testament documents and Hebrew Scriptures.)

The above examples from the movie, however, are relatively minor and somewhat open to interpretation. In contrast to these examples, MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE is strongly Christocentric, biblical and morally uplifting. Mother Teresa clearly and publicly centered her life and her work on Jesus Christ. She says she helps the poor and needy “for the love of Christ.” Also, Mother Teresa was the epitome of Paul’s command in Galatians 5:6 that “The only thing that matters is faith [in Jesus Christ] expressing itself through love.” MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE is a fitting tribute to her life, her work and her Christian faith. It should inspire many Christians and even lead many people to Christ. Some images of sick and dying people may scare young children or give sensitive children nightmares.

‘Mother Teresa: No Greater Love’: a Review

In The Seven Storey Mountain , Thomas Merton relates an encounter with his friend and fellow Columbia University student, Bob Lax. Merton had recently converted to Catholicism and told Lax he wanted to be a good Catholic. Lax shook his head. “What you should say is that you want to be a saint.”

True, but easier said than done – evidence of which might be Fr. Merton himself – assuming he really wanted to be a saint.

Better is Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu’s way: abandonment to the will of God. That’s why she’s Saint Mother Teresa. It’s not what you say, but what you do.

Her life, with its successes and struggles, is the subject of a new docudrama directed by David Naglieri, Mother Teresa: No Greater Love , which will premiere with screenings by Fathom Events on October 3 rd and 4 th : click here to see if tickets are available in your area .

The documentary includes archival footage, interviews with those who knew Mother well, and profiles of the Missionaries of Charity carrying on Mother’s work. The dramatic sections are few: mostly brief reenactments of key moments in Mother’s life.

The film recapitulates the well-known story of Mother’s response to Christ’s call that she go into the streets of Calcutta to care for the poorest of the poor. And we see how global the order of nuns she founded has become.

They remain in Calcutta – now Kolkata – but they are also in places as diverse as Brazil and the Bronx.

For instance, as Mr. Naglieri’s film begins, we see her sisters providing flip-flops for barefooted refugees fleeing Venezuela. And, obviously, food, water, and shelter as well. In every place, the message of love is the same, although the way it is delivered may differ.

Indeed, the film’s greatest virtue is these glimpses of the worldwide work of the Missionaries of Charity. It’s so very simple: go to those in need; give them what they need. This is not a political philosophy but the admonition of Matthew 25:40: “And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’”

Poverty is everywhere. And it’s tempting to blame government, society, the system. Or, as Christopher Hitchens did – in a reprehensible book and as devil’s advocate in Mother’s canonization proceedings – to blame Mother for not doing what it was never her intention to do: build hospitals and pass out contraceptives.

Among the many interviewees in the film is Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, Ph.D. who was the advocate for Mother Teresa in the canonization and now is director of the Mother Teresa Center (offices in Kolkata, San Diego, and Rome).

Father Kolodiejchuk shows pages from the diary Mother kept in which she carried on a dialogue with Christ. There was urgency in the Lord’s words, and they spurred Mother to overcome the skepticism of her superiors.

The film’s many interviews are interspersed with profiles Missionaries of Charity carrying on Mother’s work. For instance, Sr. M. Constantine, an African, whom Mother sent to Amazonia. Sister Constantine’s narration of her own story shows two things: the Missionaries of Charity give up most material connections to the world; and they go forth, as Mother instructed, to “Bring [the poor] to Jesus,” made possible in part because of the sisters’ dedication to learning, manifest in facility for languages. Sister Constantine clearly speaks at least three.

The Missionaries embrace the corporal works of mercy: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, visit prisoners, and bury the dead. Mother adapted the Evangelical Counsels – poverty, chastity, obedience – with a fourth: “give wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.”

I was deeply moved by an image (below) from the film: Sr. M. Constantine and her four companions are heading down to the river and on to their next destination. Lord, I thought, how you do inspire such courage and sacrifice!

That scene transitions into the work of the Missionaries on 145 th Street in the Bronx. There, Sister Bernice addresses the people with evangelical rhetoric you might hear from their neighbors at the Abyssinian Baptist Church down on 136 th Street. Again: facility with language. Speaking to people in ways they’ll understand.

Bernice puts her hands on people’s shoulders counseling them, praying with them and for them. She wipes away their tears.

Mother Teresa nearly had to do that for the liberals present when she made her Nobel Prize acceptance speech and condemned abortion. (That speech is today’s TCT Notable item.)

Not only was she unafraid of violence and enmity, but she was also not frightened by poverty, illness, or death – not by their sights or stench. To watch Mother Teresa: No Greater Love is to grasp why she had dark nights of the soul. She labored for half a century and, though she saved and enlightened many lives, she did not end poverty or indifference, giving us a perfect application of Matthew’s report of Christ’s words: “Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.”

Jim Wahlberg, brother of actor Mark, a former criminal whose encounter with Mother changed his life, says it as well as anybody in the film: “She went through years and years of feeling abandoned by God – that He was not there; that she did not feel His presence. . . .But every day she got up and did His bidding.”

The film ends with the estimable Patrick E. Kelly, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus (sponsors of the film), saying: “if we can see the world more as Mother Teresa did, the world would be a radically different and, I think, better place.”

I don’t deny it, but I think we worry too much about the “world.” As I think Mother showed, it’s the person right in front of us who matters – someone hungry for love.

The Great Paradox: A review of Mother Teresa: No Greater Love

The new documentary produced by the Knights of Columbus often treads well-worn ground, but does an excellent job of showing that the Saint of Calcutta’s mission was primarily and ultimately salvific, not philanthropic.

October 28, 2022 Nick Olszyk The Dispatch 7 Print

Distribution Service: Fathom Events MPAA Rating: Not rated at the time of this review USCCB Rating: Not rated at the time of this review Reel Rating: 3 out of 5 reels

Being a canonized saint is rare, and being recognized as such during your own lifetime is rarer still. Being a true saint, totally devoted to Christ and His radical message of love, while simultaneously being lauded by the secular world for your actions is the “rarest of the rare,” perhaps only achieved by the woman who helped “the poorest or the poor.”

Mother Teresa: No Greater Love is a new documentary produced by the Knights of Columbus, now entering an encore screening from Fathom events due to popular demand. Much has been said about this titan of the 20th-century, and the film often treads well-worn ground, but it also benefits from the current day Missionaries of Charity, who provide the most powerful testimony about the one they just call “Mother.”

No Greater Love is primarily about St. Teresa’s philosophy and work, but it is peppered with scenes from her extraordinary life as well. She was born to a Catholic minority population, in 1910, in Albania, then part of the Ottoman Empire. She joined the Loretto Sisters, eventually ending up as a teacher in Calcutta, India. In a now legendary incident, she was traveling on the train to a retreat in 1946 when she heard “the call within a call.” It was Jesus asking her to leave her current life and serve those in most need of her help. She started the Missionaries of Charity and devoted the rest of her life to finding those abandoned by the world. In India, this meant going to those dying in streets. In Africa, she found children starving for every meal. In the United States, it was the drug addicted and AIDS patients.

Despite her great charity work, her mission was primarily salvific, not philanthropic. She told her sisters to “see Jesus in the face of the poor” and “bring the love of Jesus to the poor.” Worse than the hunger for food or medicine was the hunger for dignity and love. She didn’t start with a blueprint for a hospital or religious order. She just walked into the streets and embraced the first dying man she met. She then gave them whatever she had, which was usually not even enough for herself. For example, her feet were seriously deformed, not just from the constant walking but only taking the donated shoes nobody else wanted, which were often ill-fitting or broken.

The most compelling aspect of No Greater Love is the frequent interviews with current-day Missionaries of Charity sisters. They are always smiling, and not the fake smile of a runway model, but the gentle smile of being at total peace with God and humanity. They live in hundreds of different places, some of which are quite dangerous. In Mexico, Teresa founded a house in a cartel-controlled neighborhood. When her sisters were fired upon during their daily work, she marched right into the leader’s apartment room and demanded that he, a multi-millionaire armed to the teeth, leave them alone. He complied.

Unlike many other religious orders that are in serious decline, the Missionaries continue to recruit vocations; many of the sisters were well under forty. This attraction was not just her social justice work, but its proper place as part of the mission of the Catholic Church. She insisted on doctrinal and ecclesial fidelity. Prayer was also essential; sisters are still required to do at least an hour of Eucharistic adoration a day.

Despite her paradoxical success, she did have detractors, who unfortunately have been growing louder in recent decades. She was always hated by various political leaders due to her strong anti-abortion stance, even proclaiming its evil during a speech attended by a nervous President Clinton. She has even been criticized for her charity. Atheist and journalist Christopher Hitchens said she “didn’t love the poor, she loved poverty .” He criticized the supposed poor conditions of her houses and how she “wasted” money on religious work rather than proper Western style medical care.

It’s true that this nearly penniless nun did not give her patients, abandoned on the streets moments from death, the latest million-dollar chemotherapy treatment. She gave them something better. She gave them hope, love, and a true death with dignity. She also took people who had been rejected by mainstream hospitals and mental institutions. Hitchens, of course, never did any of this work himself. Underneath this paper-thin criticism lies all kinds of hidden motives, but, at its heart, is a type of fearful denialism. Mother Teresa is too good. If she is for real, it’s because she is really holy, which means that holiness exists—and I could be holy, too.

This documentary isn’t perfect. It’s a bit jumbled and hard to follow at times. Yet it hits all the important parts and does a good job underlining the work of the Knight as well. During the leadership of the previous supreme knight Carl Anderson, the Knights of Columbus was, somewhat unfairly, painted as a partisan organization aligned with conservative causes. No Greater Love , presented by Anderson’s successor, reminds Catholics in the U.S. that our duty to the poor is not divorced from pro-life teaching and pro-marriage causes but is a natural extension of them. Again, something that the world never seems to understand.

Thanks for the review and info. Because of my interest in the movie, googled Mother Therese: No Greater Love and found it will be showing at theaters in NW suburbs starting Nov. 3. Also can be found using links from Knights of Columbus, fathom events etc. So anyone interested, suggest checking it out to find where it is showing in your area.

Correction on the movie date in the NW Chicago burbs. Looks like the movie showing is Nov 2 at one time only.

I love St. Mother, I saw the movie, and I personally visited one of her homes, in Agra India, for disabled children. I would not dare suggest that Mother was not a saint. Wishing in no sense to detract from honor due her, one could however argue that she was both saint and philanthropist. Her EXAMPLE of service was salvific.

At one of her homes (for disabled children) in India, people predominantly from the West (e.g., tourists) LINED UP on the street before the facility opened, then stood in a long line inside the compound in order to see the superior (not Mother since she had already passed). Checkbooks in hand, they were ready to donate their largess. In this sense, Mother used other people’s money to enable her work, and in this sense, Mother was a philanthropist.

The children I met in India displayed smiles of peace and joy which MOVED me deeply. I was not moved in sympathy (I am parent to a child with a disability.) I was moved because these children were sincerely happy to meet anyone who were interested in visiting with them. My son is the same way. Mother’s legacy has been gifted to these children because she loved as a Mother to the strangers who had no love in their lives. My child too brightens when people show interest in him.

Mr. Olszyk and I would perhaps not agree that the most compelling aspect of the movie was the interviews with current-day Missionaries of Charity sisters. One (?in New York) who blessed drug addicts and the homeless was indiscriminate in talking; she did not allow those to whom she ministered any unspoken space in which the other could speak. She incessantly spoke words of blessing; e.g., “You are lovable. God loves you. You are loved. You are great in God’s eyes.” While speaking, she would wipe tears from one’s eyes, clean the face of another, bless foreheads, pat backs, or hug others. Physical contact was part of the ministry. Before or after she gave her ministrations, another sister handed out a bag of food and/or other material goods. Some recipients appeared ashamed, many seemed sad, and others seemed clearly strung in drug-addled misery.

Mr. Olszyk’s mention of mother’s foot problems was NOT mentioned in the film. Or I completely missed that part. I WAS struck by the sister who told of Mother’s going immediately to the latrine upon her arrival at this home since she knew it would need cleaning and no one else would have seen to do that job. FOR ME, that SUMMED, WHO MOTHER WAS. Anyone who travels to India knows that even the clean latrine there is still a much lower standard of clean that those typical in the West. Mother sought the lowliest and most degraded jobs and people in order to show love and to make life a bit better for others. That to me is the nature of her sainthood which we all can make our own. That is her salvific legacy.

Your comment is a gift. I enjoyed the shared details and it illuminated me. Blessings.

How can we respond to the Criticism of her ?

Mother Teresa: No Greater Love {movie review}

Mother Teresa’s name and face are known and loved by people around the world. This tiny woman who did “small things with great love” has touched the heart of thousands with her life’s work. And yet today, twenty-five years after her death, perhaps we are starting to forget her call to serve the poorest of the poor. Mother Teresa: No Greater Love is a new documentary that examines the life of this amazing woman, bringing her alive for a new generation.

Mother Teresa: No Greater Love (documentary poster)

I received a complimentary viewing of this movie; all opinions expressed are my own.

Mother Teresa: No Greater Love overview

Spanning 5 continents, Mother Teresa: No Greater Love features footage of modern-day Missionaries of Charity carrying on Mother Teresa’s legacy, interviews with people who knew her or her work well, archival footage of historical moments and re-enacted moments in her life. Moving seamlessly through past and present, the movie takes viewers into Mother Teresa’s amazing life in a deeply inspiring, memorable way.

A Family-Friendly Documentary

My first question, when watching a new movie, is “who can watch it?” I usually try to check reviews and see what other parents are saying about a movie. Of course, in the case of a brand-new movie like this one, it’s harder to find that information. I ended up watching Mother Teresa: No Greater Love with Sunshine (14), Jade (9) and Joey (almost 5). Lily (12) had homework to do that night, so she popped in and out.

Jade often feels left out when I watch movies with her older sisters, but I figured a saint movie should be okay for her and I’d discuss anything necessary with her. I didn’t really expect the younger two kids to get much out of it, so I let Pearl listen to some stories in her room and go to bed. Joey pretty much snacked for the movie duration and then fell asleep (and woke up around midnight upset we weren’t still watching the movie).

Sunshine and Jade really enjoyed Mother Teresa: No Greater Love . There was nothing in it that raised concerns for me as a parent. Some kids may be sensitive to a few scenes where nuns are shown helping people with injuries or special needs. This is what Sunshine was worried about, as she knew like I did that Mother Teresa worked among very ill and dying people.

In one scene, a nun is shown bathing a math without a shirt who has rashes on his upper shoulders which made Jade ask questions; I guessed it was leprosy. Another question they asked was about a baby with a huge head (likely hydrocephalus). In New York, the nuns work among AIDS patients and the girls asked what AIDS was but I didn’t have a chance to discuss that with them while we were viewing the movie.

Overall, Mother Teresa: No Greater Love would be great for the whole family to view. As it is a documentary more than a movie, it may be boring for some younger kids. There’s quite a bit of talking in the interviews with people who knew her, such as Bishop Barron, a photographer, sisters from her order, the postulator for her cause for canonization, and others. Those interviews are interspersed with enough archival and modern footage of Mother Teresa and her missionaries at work to hold the attention of most kids (like Jade).

You’ll Be Changed

I thought I knew Mother Teresa’s story when we started watching this movie. We’ve listened to the Holy Heroes Glory Story about her life, and this month Pearl has been studying India for social studies so we’ve read several books about Mother Teresa. None of those captured the depth of her work like this documentary did.

Mother Teresa: No Greater Love takes us all onto the streets of India, the United States, Brazil, and others. We see the sick, the dying, the hungry, the homeless, the needy whom Mother and her nuns served. We hear these nuns talking about “Mother,” just as “Mother,” and we hear the love in their voices as they mention her name and her impact on their lives and we see the way they continue to follow her example.

I cried. I cried nearly all the way through this documentary. You cannot watch this movie and not be touched by Mother Teresa’s life and work.

I think so often, we look at the problems of the world around us and we say, “It’s too big.” There are so many problems in so many places that it can be overwhelming. Mother Teresa wasn’t overwhelmed. She walked out her door and helped the first person whom she saw laying in the street, and then the next, and the next. She touched the untouchable. She gave dignity to those who were dying. She spoke out for the rights of those who can’t speak. She did it all with a smile, and many people in the documentary said that when Mother spoke with you, it was as if you were the only person in the room.

One more thing that struck me about Mother Teresa: No Greater Love was the mention of her time of spiritual darkness. Mother Teresa had a mystical encounter with Jesus that changed the course of her life. And then after that… silence. She did all of her work on the streets without any further inspiration or consolation or encouragement from the One Whom she loved so deeply.

Snippets of her journal were shown where she cried out to God, feeling abandoned and unheard. Feeling like those she served. And yet she kept doing the work He called her to do. In the midst of extreme suffering, she hid her own suffering with a smile and did what she could to alleviate the suffering around her.

I like how you post the anti Catholic comments first. Jealous much! To the haters..a guess the Nobel Peace Prize selection committee..knew her better. I grew up in India..Mother Theresa ia loved and honored.

Saturday, February 25, 12:46:15 AM

This evil person has been dead for over 25 years and they're still pushing this propagandist nonsense.

Saturday, December 17, 11:22:31 PM

Mother Teresa was evil. Full stop. This movie is garbage propaganda. What's next? A documentary that claims that Ted Bundy was a great feminist??? Documentary films are supposed to show viewers the truth. This is a film of lies.

Sunday, December 11, 08:57:20 AM

Just more lies and propaganda about an unjustly praised "holy woman" who was actually a terrible, villainous person. A despicable movie.

Friday, November 4, 09:36:12 PM

This film was very well done. A+

Thursday, November 3, 12:43:41 PM

Extremely beautiful, Very strong and powerful. Her love to God had no limits, even during suffering times. Mother Teresa thank you for the courage of love, and pray for us.

Thursday, November 3, 11:47:32 AM

Don't be fooled. Mother Theresa was no saint. She was an absolutely horrible person. For the truth, read "The Missionary Position: Mother Theresa in Theory and Practice" by Christopher Hitchens, or watch the short documentary "Hell's Angel: Mother Theresa" which is available on YouTube.

Thursday, November 3, 12:23:19 AM

Awesome documentary! A must to see! Learned so much that I never knew about Mother Teresa.

Tuesday, November 1, 10:31:40 PM

Be aware -- I met Mother Teresa in Calcutta during the seventies and found nothing holly about this woman, rather saw her as a sadist practicing under the guise of religion, like Kevorkian a power-controller enjoying control over suffering, pain and death, But who am I to suggest pathologies are lingering beneath, after myself working for decades treating and housing the criminally insane? Beware, In Mother Teresa I saw that telltale distance indicative of joy while inflicting pain and enacting oppression. This is nothing new in the Catholic Church, with generations covering such pathologies for their own ends. For what is religion in reality but power, wielding control, taking advantage, and plying their trade in mythos, delusion and mass-subjugation. This recognition is rarely acknowledged out-loud, but when risen to iconography and popular entertainment it needs to be said again and again, not lauded as in this unknowing, covering of sin. There are real heroes in the world, heroes with true-compassion and care, inspired by selfless honor, not depravity and false spiritual-engagement. There is no honor in creating sainthood from the covering of deep-sin, and the Un-imaginable pain of starving Bengal. Find your stories based on real-compassion and strive to solve the issues of starvation for the people suffering every day. Account for this perspective, the real world view, in a world so susceptible to misrepresentation and deception. Honestly

Monday, October 24, 11:27:33 AM

Extremely informative, interesting, and uplifting! Well done in all counts!

Tuesday, October 4, 01:48:42 AM

An awesome, powerful, strong, humble, no nonsense, total self-gift to us all, woman of God, St. Mother Teresa. We love you and thank you for all you did here on earth and are continuing to do for us in Heaven, especially in our dark hours.

Wednesday, September 14, 10:35:47 AM

A beautiful and inspiring true story about a wonderful and selfless woman who loved and cared for the poor and forgotten, which few really care about in our world today. It touched my heart so much that I joined a wonderful group of laity connected to Saint Mother Theresa, who pray for and help the poor.

‘No Greater Love’ — A film on the remarkable life of Mother Teresa to premiere in theaters on October 3 and 4

Carmel communications.

DENVER — Mother Teresa of Calcutta is one of the most widely revered saints in the world, and one of the greatest spiritual giants of the 20th century. She is a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times. “ Mother Teresa: No Greater Love ” is a unique film that reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ through the poor is realized to this day, through the religious order she founded, the Missionaries of Charity.

Twenty-five years after Mother Teresa’s death, Fathom Events will present an exclusive two-day only event, “ Mother Teresa: No Greater Love ,” in theaters Monday, Oct. 3 and Tuesday, Oct. 4. The film is part of Fathom Events’ “Saint Series,” a curated collection of films chronicling the lives of Catholic saints.

“Mother Teresa taught us that there are no expendable people,” Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly said. “Everyone we encounter is made in the image of God. So, when she was feeding the hungry or holding the hands of someone as they lay dying, she was treating them as she would the most important person in her life, Jesus Christ himself. And, in all of this, she was teaching us to have a heart that sees, and if we can learn to see as she did, the world would be a radically different and, I would say, better place.”

Produced by the Knights of Columbus, filmed on five continents and featuring unprecedented access to both institutional archives and the apostolates of the Missionaries of Charity, “ Mother Teresa: No Greater Love ” chronicles the life of Mother Teresa and the profound spiritual and physical impact she and the Missionaries of Charity have had — and continue to have — on Catholics and non-Catholics alike throughout the world. The documentary also addresses Mother Teresa’s admitted periods of spiritual darkness while serving the poorest of the poor, and her friendship with another revered saint, Pope John Paul II.

“Mother Teresa’s incredible acts of kindness changed the world,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. “We are proud to partner with the Knights of Columbus to bring this film to theaters nationwide and hope that it can not only shine a light on this saint of our times but to change lives in the process.”

“ Mother Teresa: No Greater Love ” is produced by David Naglieri of the Knights of Columbus and features commentary from prominent Catholics, such as Patrick E. Kelly, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus; Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester and founder of the Catholic ministerial organization Word on Fire; Jim Wahlberg, filmmaker and humanitarian; Fr. Donald Haggerty, a priest of the Archdiocese of New York; Jim Towey, a trusted advisor and personal friend of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and author of “T o Love and Be Loved: A Personal Portrait of Mother Teresa ” ; and Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator of Mother Teresa’s cause of canonization and author of three books on Mother Teresa.

Tickets for “ Mother Teresa: No Greater Love ” can be purchased online by visiting Fathom Events or at participating theater box offices.

Noomi Rapace is teasing her portrayal of Mother Teresa in the upcoming film “ Mother ,” in which the multi-faceted Swedish talent tackles the role of the Catholic saint when she was just an ordinary woman.

Speaking at the Sarajevo Film Festival this week, where she’s part of a competition jury headed by Paul Schrader, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and “Prometheus” star said she was drawn to the offbeat portrait of Teresa because she wasn’t interested in doing a conventional biopic. “She was no saint,” Rapace said. “She’s a quite complex character.”

“She’s waiting for permission from the Vatican to go out on her calling, her mission, to leave the convent and start her mission outside,” Rapace explained. “No one has done what she’s asking permission to do. It hasn’t been done before. She’s a woman in a man’s world.”

Rapace, who left her family in Sweden at the age of 15, said she could relate to the story of Teresa, who also left home as a teenager, as she understands the feeling of “leaving the safety behind.”

“I’ve felt like I’m against all odds many times and finding my voice and myself in different foreign situations,” she said. “So I think I can relate to her stubbornness and her conviction that she needed to do this, even if it was going to be painful.”

Rapace continued, “She talks a lot about darkness and her doubts. She once said, ‘If I will ever become a saint, it will surely be one of darkness,’ which is very powerful.”

Of the collaboration with Mitevska, Rapace described the director as “an incredible filmmaker” and praised her “punky passion,” saying: “She’s not too polite to the story.”

Mitevska, who was in Sarajevo this week to pitch the dark comedy-horror series “ Little Yugoslavia ” alongside Slovenian co-creator Sonja Prosenc, left the Balkan fest for Calcutta, where the director said she’s finalizing locations for “Mother.” Production is set to begin on Sept. 23 in Belgium, where interiors will be filmed, before moving to India.

“This is not a biopic,” Mitevska told Variety , describing the film as a snapshot of one week in the life of the saint “before she becomes the Mother Teresa we know today.”

“We wanted to demystify the personage behind the myth and simply speak of this highly intelligent, ambitious woman with a great heart, who was just as flawed as we all are,” said the director.

Born in North Macedonia, which was also the birthplace of Teresa, the director said the film was inspired by a docuseries she shot for Macedonian television more than a decade ago, during which she recognized the significance of Teresa not as a religious icon but as an empowering female figure. “She had a rebel punk rock energy that spreads like a virus; she was a general of an army of women,” said Mitevska.

“Mother” is a five-country co-production between Macedonia’s Sisters and Brother Mitevski, Belgium’s Entre Chien et Loup, Denmark’s Frau Film, the Netherlands’ Baldar Film, Sweden’s Spark Film & TV and Film i Väst. Kinology is also on board as co-producer and is repping world sales.

The Sarajevo Film Festival runs Aug. 16 – 23.

Noomi Rapace Talks Upcoming Mother Teresa Project ‘Mother’, Working With European Arthouse Directors & ‘Constellation’ Cancelation — Sarajevo

Rapace stressed the film, which is the English language debut from Strugar Mitevska, will not be a biopic, but will rather examine seven crucial days during the saint’s life when she decides to leave the Loreto Entally convent in Calcutta to launch her own Missionaries of Charity.

“She was basically waiting for permission from the Vatican to be able to go out on her mission,” said Rapace. “And she wrote letters for seven years to the Vatican trying to convince them to believe in something that has never been done before.”

In between her jury duties in Sarajevo, Rapace has been prepping the project with North Macedonian filmmaker Strugar Mitevska, who was in town for a few days and Rapace said the duo had been doing “makeup testing and having script sessions.”

“I’m finding the connecting tissue between me and [Mother Teresa] now and I’m starting to see where I can relate to her, like me living home when I was 15 and moving into an unknown situation and her leaving home when she was 17 and moving to another country, learning a new language and being a woman in a man’s world,” said Rapace. “All of these things, while just simple facts, I’m very curious about.”

The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo star pointed out that Mother Teresa was a “very complex” character who was “always questioning herself.”

Mother will begin shooting next month in Belgium before moving to Calcutta – “We’re actually going to be on the streets she was walking.”

In addition to Mother , Rapace has psychological thriller Reckoner lined up as her next project. It’s a welcome change of pace for the actress, who last starred in Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Constellation , where she played Jo, an astronaut aboard the International Space Station when an object collides with it. The series was canceled after one season.

“I loved that character,” she said. “It was a beautiful journey and Peter Harness is a brilliant writer and became a dear friend of mine. I loved working with Apple and the creative team and I was disappointed at first when it was canceled.

“It was a long journey though. I was prepping for three months and shooting for eight months so when you take on something of that level, it’s a big commitment. But I believe things happen for different reasons and I wouldn’t be able to do the films I’m doing now had they called for a second season.”

She added: “I’m very much in love with European arthouse directors at the moment and it feels refreshing and liberating for me to go back a bit to where it all started – small and more rock and roll.”
