Mother Theresa, the icon
Mother Theresa, the icon has just been put down a notch, or upgraded to a real saint.
Personally, I always admired Mother Thersa, what she did to the poorest of the poor and how she could sway even polititians and Kings.
Am I dissappointed by the newest revelations? Not at all. She went through the 'dark night of the soul' not just for a period of time but for most of her life, yet she continued her mission. Who on earth could have more dedication than she did?
Just before her letters were revealed, I had a real problem with God being in our lives. After all when our president who says that he believes in Jesus and God tells him what to do, believes in torture, war, killings, the death penalty, cutting programs for the poor, etc. etc. etc., one sometimes wonders where God really is.
But, Mother Theresa restored my faith in God, since she did the impossible of continuing her charitable mission, regardless of her personal anguish.
Sure, the media and the atheists will have a hayday with this, but in the end she will prevail.
(In the margin, I do no longer belong to any religion but admire anyone who does the will of God, regardless.)
