That it does so not in any organized, intentional form but as a hodgepodge of desperate notes not intended for daylight should leave readers only more convinced that it is authentic and that they are, somewhat shockingly, touching the true inner life of a modern saint. -David Van Biema, Time Magazine, Come Be My Light is that rare thing, a posthumous autobiography that could cause a wholesale reconsideration of a major public figure one way or another.
