Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I've just seen this book advertised: Mother Teresa: In the Shadow of Our Lady and it looks wonderful!

Here is an interview with the author:
Mary's Light in Mother Teresa's Dark Night

I read Come by My Light earlier this year and it was just inspirational, now this new book, I am really looking forward to getting a copy.

Has anyone read it as yet?

I just received my copy today! I am so excited about it and look forward to start reading, I am sure it is going to be exceptional reading.

It starts with a quote in first pages,

"Am I not here? I who am your mother? Are you not in my shadow?" (Our Lady to Juan Diego)

And the forward is titled, "Under Our Lady's Mantle"

I loved it Trish and I do recommend it. I think it completes the picture of Mother Teresa's spirituality, after the release of Come Be My Light (another good read)

I will have to come back and share some more in depth thoughts on it...getting late here now, but I will get back!

I love "Come Be My Light".

I'm looking forward to reading more of your thoughts, Anne.

Oh that's great Anne.    
Our priest recommended my dd 19 and I read "Come Be My Light". And we both loved it.

I've taken a long time to get back, I've quoted from the book that refers to the total consecration to Our Lady in light of the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I've started a new thread with the excerpt due to the Guadalupe connection and her feast day today.
