Mother Teresa is not a mother
What is more shocking: Carole King is not a king or Mother Teresa is not a mother?
Well, it is shocking enough to learn that, for 40 years, Mother Teresa lost her faith in God from the time she started the mission in Calcutta to the day she died. "Jesus has a very special love for you. As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great that I look and do not see, listen and do not hear." she confessed to another priest. And for her famous smile: "The smile," she writes, is "a mask" or "a cloak that covers everything". She called herself hypocritical for speaking of God in public but not believing a word she said herself.
I have always admired Mother Teresa (and still do). I have a collection of her teachings from which I found wisdom and humanity. She wrote about God all the times. Now it only confirms how fallible we all are, and despite of all that, we are still capable of good deeds.

Her "confession" confirms indeed she was human rather than (or perhaps in addition to) the saint that the church has been trying to make out of her. I agree her contributions to the world are real enough for me and many others.
One of the orphans, whom Mother Teresa took care of, talks about her on radio. He said there was not an aura above her head. He only remember her worked and worked all day, cleaning up sick patients, helping out everyone who needed help. This boy orphan could have die young in gutter, but with Mother Teresa's loving care, he grew up to be a journalist...that is true miracle! (I am thinking years ago people found her face in a cinnamon bun and called it miracle. The bun must be preserved in some churchs. ;-)
Church, or e-Bay? Oh, I shouldn't have talked like that.
I agree with you, the case is a testimony of Mother Teresa performing true miracle.
