It's been that way for me for some time now, but I know God is real,and good and faithful, even as I fail in all these areas. It's just as well my salvation doesn't depend on what I feel, or how well I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071607692933192813.post-32886106552773262652007-08-26T21:13:00.000-04:002007-08-26T21:13:00.000-04:00Well said...I am not of the Catholic persuasion, b...Well said...I am not of the Catholic persuasion, but I admired her very much...it was hard not to. <BR/><BR/> She was selfless, contributing, always, to the benefit of others..with no thought of receiving anything in return.<BR/><BR/>Rare, in this day and time.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083702120097667613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071607692933192813.post-33335661258293271662007-08-26T21:03:00.000-04:002007-08-26T21:03:00.000-04:00I admired the woman for what she was and what she ...I admired the woman for what she was and what she did. She didn't ask for anything for herself and appeared to sincerely believe in what she was doing. It is hard not to admire a person like that even if one does not share the same religious beliefs.GUYKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365709988592687239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071607692933192813.post-92217126347877053152007-08-26T19:17:00.000-04:002007-08-26T19:17:00.000-04:00Yes..only human.Sometimes people put others on a p...Yes..only human.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes people put others on a pedestal, and then they are surprised to find out that the person was only human, after all.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083702120097667613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071607692933192813.post-19422067706809431132007-08-26T19:05:00.000-04:002007-08-26T19:05:00.000-04:00Jan, I think you got it just right.

I can't imagine anyone living under those conditions and witnessing daily the poverty and suffering of a people would not at some time or another question the existence of God. Perhaps people should realize, all this sainthood stuff aside, Mother Teresa, like the rest of us was a human being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
