A rich lady at a party asked Mother Teresa “What do u do for a living?” Mother said “I pick up starving people in the streets of Calcutta.” Rich lady said “I wouldn’t do that for all the money in the world.” Mother said “neither would I, but I do it for love.”

Joy is not the same as pleasure or happiness. A wicked and evil man may have pleasure, while any ordinary mortal is capable of being happy. Pleasure generally comes from things, and always through the senses; happiness comes from humans through fellowship. Joy comes from loving God and neighbor. Pleasure is quick and violent, like a flash of lightning. Joy is steady and abiding, like a fixed star. Pleasure depends on external circumstances, such as money, food, travel, etc. Joy is independent of them, for it comes from a good conscience and love of God. Bishop :-Fulton J. Sheen

I was afraid of that. The canonisation of MT has led to the self-justifaction of of those leading a life devoid of the Grace of God. Their spiritual journey is over. MT's was over after the Calcutta riots in 1946. She never got back on track, even after 50 years of trying extremely hard to regain her faith. A faithful life is marked by a succession of Divine Revelations. Eventually God will present you with His ultimate revelation: that of his non-existence. It is a rite of passage, a graduation into moral adulthood, a final calling, and the ultimate test: live without counting on God, and as if there is no afterlife outside of the lives of your progeny and your charges. "Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachtani" is the pang of pain that announces your being set free. You don't want to feel that for 50 years on end, but you will if you refuse to accept the gift of freedom+responsibility. MT is a perfect example of how NOT to relate God. If you want to know a real saint, read up on St. Damian of Molokai.

So a faithful life following God leads to atheism and the dismissal of all supernatural truths? After the "pang of pain" that is the beginning of psalm 22 (which by the way ends with a reminder of the greatness of God,) Jesus ends his mission with the words " 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.'" He wasn't set free? He didn't reach moral adulthood? Isn't a real "graduation" test to hold the hope of God even when no proof is given to you and his voice who the day before you "heard" clearly has suddenly disappeared, even if it took 50 years of hope? I feel like saying "oh now I get it! No God! I must become an existentialist and substitute with some amorphous will to live" is the ultimate spiritual failing, but hopefully I misinterpreted your comment since I doubt saint Damian did that. Please could you explain yourself better?

+Anthony P -- You don't have to be a "disciple of Hitchens" to find Mother Teresa's story disturbing. Mother Teresa suffered many symptoms of depression, yet was never treated for it. Instead, she was exorcised of demons by the order of her archbishop. All the research that I have read indicates that a "dark night of the soul" and a"clinical depression" are impossible to separate apart (the first one is almost always accompanied by the second) so a treating physician becomes obligated to treat the medical condition (depression), regardless of what people want to call it (Teresa's confessor apparently believed that Teresa was clinically depressed). There are therefore many philosophical and ethical questions regarding Teresa's depression, why it wasn't treated, and why theologians who don't experience depression dare to call it a "gift" of the Holy Spirit.

Reading through some of these responses is really sad. A saint is a person who is flawed just like the rest of us. The difference is that they know it and they try to do their best to avoid sin. They also follow Christ's teachings, do as He instructs them, and be humble(which doesn't mean let people walk all over you). We are all called to be saints, some are called to be big saints so that the rest of us have role models to follow. So instead of us saying, it is to hard to live the way Christ wants me too, we can say, with Christ, I can try too. People don't create miracles, God works through people to create miracles. Why for some and not others? Only He knows, but He allows suffering so that we may unite our suffering with His on the cross to help save souls from eternal damnation. Why? Because sin is graver than we realize and to sacrifice ourselves through our suffering is the greatest love there is, to lay your life down for another! Why? Because God created each and everyone of us in union with our parents out of pure love! God loves you just the way you are, not your sins. He never stops loving you even when you deny His existence...Jesus said it Himself...those who persecute you do so because they have persecuted me. Remember, God loves you and someday He wants you home.

I am a conservative true believing Catholic, and I think highly of most of Bishop Barron's videos, but like so many good Catholics Bishop Barron seems taken in by this woman. He hasn't bothered to check the facts. That was me, too, until recently. Mother Teresa ran a very slipshod operation that did very little to help the destitute and dying. She had nuns with little or no medical training, mats instead of beds, extremely unsanitary facilities, no separation of the contagious from the non-contagious. At first the Missionaries of Charity lacked resources, true, but once they became famous donations poured in. Mother Teresa could have built nice modern hospices with rooms and beds and had her nuns become at least LPNs. She could have done so much. But what did she do with all these donations? No one knows. There never has been a public accounting. The best guess is that the moneyvsits in banks unused. Mother Teresa may have been guilty of an heresy I will call painism, a belief that physical pain is so beautiful that it should not be allevied. While we all must bear crosses, and while most of us must suffer great pain in our final sicknesses, that doesn't mean it doesn't behoove Christians or medical professionals from alleviating that suffering. Note that Mother herself did not die on a mat with untrained nuns in an unsanitary Calcutta hospice---she died in Switzerland with the best medical care money could buy. I do support her campaigns against abortion, contraception, and ecumenical services, and her evangelization efforts and her emphasis on Jesus.

I believe Mother Teresa walked the life of Jesus Christ. Christ went to the limits of man's forsakenness to atone for our sins and to get man on the path towards God. So far was the limit that Jesus himself felt the absence of the divine. Likewise, Mother Teresa went to the depths of man's poverty to radiate the presence of God. It's only fitting that she would have felt the same despair that Jesus as man felt; otherwise, she would not have been human. Her life is indeed inspiring.

C.S. Lewis did point out that because of love being so recognizably good, one could fall into an idolatrous assumption of seeing love as the "supreme good" and acting immorally in the name of "love" e.g. justifying sexual immorality like infidelity "I'm in love". However this would definitely not fall into the definition of love as "willing the good of the other as the other." Lewis focused on love primarily in its accidents (eros, friendship, and so on) rather than its substance which I think is what your definition is.

I agree with you completely. And with C.S. Lewis. MT's definition of love lacks a notion of balance and of priority. I don't recognise it as love. She preaches the administering of spiritual caritas INSTEAD OF material caritas. That is faith-healing, voodoo, superstition, shamanism, witchcraft even. If you are in the position to administer both (she had the funding for it, didn't she?), you are enjoined (for the Love of God) to administer the maximum of material caritas (pain medication and curative care) first and offer spiritual caritas ON TOP OF THAT. MT went about the virtue of caritas as wrongly as one possibly could, and caused a lot of unnecessary suffering that way. An example of a recent saint who went about it the right way, I believe was St. Damien of Molokai.

Bishop Robert Barron, I respect you very much and appreciate all the lessons you so gracefully share with the rest of the world. But I am baffled that you say that too much faith is bad... I know God is always there, and I deep down believe that faith is as infinite as love. I'm almost certain that if everyone had the most faith any human can possibly have, God would be performing miracles through each and every one of us, and it would be Heaven on Earth. I understand there is a reason that the flesh is weak, , but as for faith, I can't think of other thing that it would you but empower you more and more and more. Just like God is absolute Infinity, I believe the blessings would be just as infinite. And if one truly trusts in God with all his/her being, then I honestly feel that there isn't such thing as too much faith. Those are just my thoughts though, I ask God for more faith every day, and I thank Him for keeping me faithful.

Thank you Bishop you're so insightful and inspiring I wonder if Mother Teresa had such deep sadness as I because of believing lies from the Devil and now understanding that the Holy Spirit lives in us and so Jesus is right here with the spirit of compassion that has given us the spirit of himself on the cross loving his children through Mother Teresa .

FROM: THE WAY OF DIVINE LOVE - SISTER JOSEFA MENENDEZ A prayer given to Sr. Josefa from our Lord Jesus Christ: "O God most holy and just . . . Father of all clemency and of infinite goodness, Thou who didst create man out of love and through love has made him heir to eternal blessings, if he has sinned against Thee through frailty and if he deserves chastisement, accept the merits of Thy Son who offers Himself to Thee as a Victim of expiation. By those divine merits, forgive sinful men, and deign to reinstate them as heirs of Heaven. Oh My Father pity and mercy for souls". Amen. The Way of Divine Love is in video form on line - especially the FULL narration of His Passion as He dictated it to Sr. Josefa. It is WONDERFUL to view! VERY moving...how I wish All would read this book or view it on line in the videos! God bless you and all dear to your heart.

Not what she meant, man causes poverty, chemicals in the air we breath and in some of the food we eat...much pain is directly caused by man's greed. Now, when medicine is not available or is not strong enough what is one to do? Embrace the pain, and see it as a way to be purified, as a way to share in the pain Jesus was put through...there are much better medicines today, and if the Sisters can acquire it I'm am most sure they would supply it to people in need. So, it isn't that she found pleasure in people's pain...it was to direct that pain when nothing else could be done about it medically to give up that pain to God as a prayer.

"You can't love too much" ... well, just like you said "too much faith becomes credulity", we can also state that "too much love becomes obsession." Can we not? It depends on what you mean by love. You said in this video that love is an act of the will, so then you are saying "you can never act enough of your will?" that sounds odd, and in a certain light, dangerous. Regardless, I don't see anything in this video that would suggest that Mother Teresa actually was the loving, kind person you describe. "she radically loved people" tells us nothing about what she actually did. Her "service to the poor" is stated, but not elaborated on. What service did she actually deliver? Did she give humanitarian aid? Not really. Her "service" was religious in nature. I'm pretty sure the poor would have appreciated medicine, food, and education more, and it would have had a greater impact.

Ah the Catholics just love their saints don't they ! She was so full of love says our Bishop, and love knows no bounds, there can't be enough of it. So much does Jesus love the people of India and Calcutta in particular, that omnipotent He allowed so many humans to live in abject poverty, misery, disease and death, in that place among many others in the world , and then He sends along this sadistic "saint" who also "loved" suffering so much that pain relief was not allowed in her hospice for the dying, whilst the nuns secretly baptised them. If Mother Tereza was a saint, I'm glad I'm just human.

+Byron Hamilton Hi Byron. It's the Catholics, among the other Christians, who claim that God is benevolent. I was merely pointing out that considering all the suffering in the world, and His claimed omnipotence, He does very little about it, indeed nothing, almost as if He weren't there. He didn't even answer our new Saint's prayers, let alone sort out the world's poverty. Sorry if my tone seems snide to you, I'm just speaking frankly.

Tony you're right. I lost my temper and attacked you personally. You're on the internet a lot. Belief in a Supreme Intelligence seems quite in tune with the order of the universe as great thinkers from Aristotle to Einstein have pointed out. However, there is also great suffering in the world and you have every right to believe that this Being is indifferent to that suffering. People such as Mother Theresa believe in the goodness of God and they live their lives to bring their vision to others. She went to the people ignored by the rest of us. I expect you have done little to help alleviate that suffering. So maybe you should be less critical of people who do and not worry about the nature of their vision.

In 1997, Mother Teresa underwent an exorcism, mostly because she was experiencing insomnia. Insomnia can be a defining symptom of severe depression, or even psychotic depression. Given the many recent revelations about Mother Teresa's "darkness", which seem to almost exactly fit the DSM-V criteria for severe depression, it seems odd to me that the Bishop would scoff at the idea that Mother Teresa was depressed. It also seems odd to me why the Church would have rather treated her symptoms with exorcism as opposed to modern mental health treatments. Would it have hindered her path to sainthood, if her "darkness" had turned out to be something amenable to modern treatment, and not a gift of the Holy Spirit"? Would a truly happy Mother Teresa, healed of a mental illness, been less qualified for sainthood than the psychologically miserable woman described in recent accounts?
@yourbluesmama8 жыл бұрын
+skjelver one She wasn't a miserable woman, but deeply joyful. One can suffer and still be joyful. If Mother Teresa had asked for therapy, she could have had it. I haven't heard of her making such a request. She suffered in that she could not feel God's presence, yet her faith was such that she knew that God would still be present whether she felt His presence or not.

+skjelver one There is a world of difference between clinical depression and "the dark night of the soul". I am bipolar, but I cannot say that I ever experienced the absence of God like Mother Teresa. To feel the absence of Him so keenly, one must have felt His Presence just as strongly. Many, many saints have gone through this. Now, this is not to say that such spiritual desolation cannot cause depression as the psychiatric world defines it. It may very well do so. But Mother was undergoing something other than a lack of serotonin.

Jesus said "Take up your cross and follow me." He never said we wouldn't suffer. God gives everyone the cross they need to perfect their souls. Mother Teresa's cross was to help her identify with the people she helped who were unloved and forgotten and see the Lord in them and love Him in them. She carried her cross beautifully and faithfully, making her a saint for sure. St. Teresa, pray for us!

Charles Boulanger, just as the professors of the pro-English Sorbonne had planned to eliminate the Maid for foreign policy reasons in 1431 Cauchon, but it was the Bishop of Beauvais, another Burgundian and English partisan, cunningly pointed out a Biblical law, Deuteronomy 22:5 to burn her. The only means left to accomplish their end was to convict her of heresy. So the Catholic Church did. The Maid had already passed the test for witchcraft, she was a virgin And in the Church’s eyes, the technical reason for her conviction-dressing like a man-was justifiable to burn her. The Catholic Church haaaaa, they are so nice people.
