She said she had stopped praying.

And she started again.

Her story is all the more meaningful for all these struggles, in addition to her physical ones.

You may see her as less because of them; others see her as more. She is an inspiration to faith.

I believe that the problem here is that there is no clear understanding of “redemptive suffering”...that which Paul makes reference to when he writes of “making up what is wanting in the sufferings of Christ.”

There is also a lack of understanding of the Four Senses of Scripture, which are literal, allegorical, anagogical, and moral.

Trying to understand the meaning of the “dark night” without the help of these senses of Scriptural understanding isn’t going to work very well and make it almost impossible to get to even a minimum point of “discussion”.

"She said she had stopped praying."

And she started again.

That's not what she said. According to her own words, she died without faith.
