Father Ben Luedtke
Catholic Answers Apologist

Ordained by Pope John Paul II in Rome, Fr. Ben Luedtke has worked on three continents and presently serves Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity and is spiritual director to several Carmelite monasteries.

He personally knew Mother Teresa of Calcutta and for a while was often her driver in Rome. Each Missionary of Charity prays for a special priest. Fr. Ben was Mother Teresa’s special priest.

He gives retreats and missions and is a popular speaker, who is on fire for Christ, especially in the Holy Eucharist. He loves to reconcile souls with God in Confession, “a means of true healing and interior peace.” His enthusiasm for the faith and devotion to our Lord and our Lady touches the minds and hearts of all who hear him.
