Mother Teresa a Phony?!

Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

I'm with you on this one, OD.

Regardless of what she believed, her deeds were and are legendary.
And the faultering of faith doesn't detract from them.

To the contrary, how much MORE committed did she have to be to her work, to still do it in the face of questioning her faith?

Maybe there were times when Mother Teresa felt that if she did not do enough in His name, she probably got hard on herself. But God is extremely proud of her, just as he is well pleased with Jesus.

I think that anyone who willingly put herself into the most terrible of places, day in and day out is bound to have a crisis of faith. To see the suffering of innocents, and do her best to help relieve them, is a difficult daily routine for even the most selfless people. When you are constantly bombarded with all the worst things, it weighs on your soul. She obviously had enough faith to continue her work, even though she had doubts. I have nothing but respect for her and her work.
