The doubting nun of Calcutta, part 2

A few weeks ago when the news item came out about the doubts Mother Teresa had about her faith, I posted an item here.  Today, when checking out some of my friends, I found another good post, this one by Maritime blogger, Naked Pastor. 

He states:

I recently read the Times article on Mother Teresa’s crisis of faith. I literally rejoiced over the exposure of her crisis through her letters to her confessors. I believe the darkness of her faith, the apparently complete absence of God in her life, is a brilliant testimony to her faith. We need to hear more about this kind of thing. For faith is dark. Darkness is its home. Darkness is the bed it sleeps in. I’m glad because this may give permission to more and more people admitting the obvious: that they do not feel God’s presence like they were promised, that they have no tangible proof of God in their lives. I should say “we”. Because that’s where I’m at too.
