I'd say she understood her roll rather well.

Are you sure? ;-)

Interesting (but not surprising) isn't it. That a gainsaying unintelligent woman, whose appreciation and understanding of Scripture leads her to squander hours upon hours at an internet website, should find fault with the way a Catholic woman sacrificed her entire life to serve Christ in the poorest of the poor. You see, Mother Teresa wasn't up to the gainsayer's standards.

Mother Teresa should have been thumping her King James at those dying Hindu heathens. And because she didn't, you see, means they're all going to HELL.

And Mother's in deep trouble herself for not thumping. Forget about the thousands of vocations within her order that have occurred directly because of her living testimony. Forget about the millions of Catholics, other Christians and non Christians who have been inspired to lead lives dedicated to helping the poor and actually LIVING the gospel message because of her life. All irrelevant to a gainsayer, you see.

From No Greater Love:

Q. Do you attempt to present any special religious message through your work?

Mother Teresa responds: Love has no other message but its own. Every day we try to live out Christ's love in a very tangible way, in every one of our deeds. If we do any preaching, it is done with deeds, not with words. That is our witness to the gospel.

That is not true........you may say that those that sell drugs or abort their children are doing it out of love if their circumstances are not perfect

Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
