Mother Teresa's crisis of faith
« on: November 29, 2002, 06:21:01 PM »
Mother Teresa was tormented by a crisis of belief for 50 years, her writings reveal. Her letters and diaries present a completely different picture of the nun and Nobel peace prize winner from her public image as a woman confident of her faith. Biographies would have to be rewritten to take the revelation into account.

The previously unpuclished material is to be brought out as a volume in italy. it was collected by the roman catholic authoorities in calcutta after her death at the age of 87.

Some of mother teresa's writings  include a couple of quotes that must not go unheard of:

"My Smile is a gr8 cloak that hides a multitude of pains"

Because she was "foreever smiling", people thought "my faith, my hope and my love are overflowing and that my intimacy with God and union with his will fill me heart. If only they knew"

In another letter of hers she wrote:

"the damned of Hell suffer eternal punishment because they experiment with the loss of God."

"In my own soul, i feel that god does not want me, that god is not god and that hedoes not really exist"

Il Messegro, rome's popular daily newspaper, said "The real mother teresa wasone who for one year had visions and for the next 50  had doubts--up until her death"

Her personal writings are being published in december as Il Segreto di MaAdre teresa(mother teresa's secret).

damn, thats sad.....
