He relates how Mother Teresa of Calcutta would ask her sisters, “Do you really know the living Jesus — not through books, but by being with Him in your heart?” Fr. Sattler’s stories will stir you to want to authentically know, love, and serve the Lord in your daily life and respond meaningfully to God’s invitation to “remain in me and I in you” (John 15:4).
