More than four decades of not believing in God is a long time to question God. She died not believing in Him.

I only pray my faith is as strong as Mother Teresa’s in those times.

When fact conflicts with the legend, print the legend.

Roman Catholics believe in a woman who didn't exist.

What do you mean, "believe in"? Mother Teresa lived, there is nothing to "believe" or "not believe."

And your statement, "She died not believing in Him" is just foolish conjecture. You were not present at her death, you have NO IDEA what she believed or didn't believe. Really nice of the OPC to denigrate Mother Teresa. Is tht the official OPC position? Or the Chris Hitchens position?

Only she and God knows this.

Her belief came and went and came again, and went again. She didn't know if it would return or not.

But, she did not stop, she did not leave her work, her order, her Church.

Most of us would not even begin her commitment to service; precious few would have continued in times of doubt.

We can't claim to pass a test before we have taken; and we never know what tests lie before us.
