Mother Teresa Doubted God's presence
08/25/07
From here
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who has been put on the “fast track” to sainthood, was so tormented by doubts about her faith that she felt “a hypocrite,” it has emerged from a book of her letters to friends and confessors.
Shortly after beginning her work in the slums of Calcutta, she wrote: “Where is my faith? Even deep down there is nothing but emptiness and darkness. If there be a God — please forgive me.”
Whew! I thought I was only one! Seriously, how can one have no doubts about God when God can't be sensed by those five senses we use for everything else? To doubt is to think. To think is to grow. Everybody should doubt God every once in a while- on purpose.

When this was released by the news, I felt a 'gotcha' to the reporting. But, for me, their was a relief - "so I'm not the only one."

This has to do more with her feelings and less with her faith. Faith is beyond feelings.
She proclaimed Jesus is God in her life.
Any other spirit that does not acknowledge
Jesus is God is a deceitful one.
She believed in Jesus, therefore she believed in God. This story helps us to focus on the mystery of the Trinity.
