She, of all people, doubted?

My local paper had a column today about the upcoming release of "Come be my Light," a collection of the late Mother Theresa's writings.

When devout and selfless come up in the minds of most people, She heads the list.

And yet, this book supposedly will reveal that for a period in Her life, Mother Theresa "felt a void in her heart and soul. She did not sense God's presence."

Perhaps there is hope for the rest of us struggling, desiring, to believe in God and yet feeling so empty.

The column does not make it clear that She regained Her faith, although at first glance that might seem obvious. Is it so obvious? I think it was Lance who told me about some aged rabbi who no longer believed but continued his religious work as he always had, because he did not wish to devastate his congregration.
