Fr Brian Kolodiejchuk to deliver public lecture on Mother Teresa’s Dark Night of the Soul

Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, will deliver a public lecture regarding the spiritual life of Saint Teresa of Calcutta on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. The talk, titled Love in the Dark: The Hidden Passion of St. Teresa of Calcutta, is scheduled for 7:00 pm at the MUSEUM Auditorium in Blata l-Bajda.

The lecture will examine the interior darkness and sense of God's absence that Saint Teresa experienced during much of her life while serving the poor. Fr. Kolodiejchuk, the former postulator for the causes of beatification and canonization of Mother Teresa, met her in 1977 and remained associated with her until her death in 1997.

Fr. Kolodiejchuk is a member of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers and currently serves as the director of the Mother Teresa Institute. He has authored several books on the saint, including Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light.
