The point of this article says for the entire second half of her life she doubted. That's a long time.

And according to her letters, that's where she ended up, in doubt, not like you and me, who thankfully have ended up in belief.

But that belief is itself a gift.

And if God chooses to give that gift in a different measure to someone else, should you or I look down on them?

“And according to her letters, that’s where she ended up, in doubt, not like you and me, who thankfully have ended up in belief.”

I guess all of us working with the most poor, most destitute, dying and badly treated of the world without seeing much improvement have questions.

Oops. I meant to say the nuns like Mother. I can’t speak for her dying thoughts though. Those are between Mother Teresa and Jesus.

You have no idea what wiles Satan threw at her! She was a solitary tiny nun, taking the dying of Calcutta who founded a religious Order that works on total Charity and total obedience. Her Order is now found throughout the world, and her work gave a final respite to those dying in the gutter with infestations of parasites and bugs.

You may be assured of YOUR salvation. I believe firmly in hers.

People every day say things when they have feelings of despair especially when dealing with so much of the worlds suffering. She was very much a hands on person in dealing with the homeless and those who were dying on the streets,and who no one wanted. I shall place my faith in the Lords judgment as to what Mother Theresa believed.
