More incongruous thoughts:
Mother Theresa didn't believe in God?
The letters, many of them preserved against her wishes (she had requested that they be destroyed but was overruled by her church), reveal that for the last nearly half-century of her life she felt no presence of God whatsoever — or, as the book's compiler and editor, the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, writes, "neither in her heart or in the eucharist."Isn't she a Saint? And didn't Christopher Hitchens play Devil's Advocate against her sainthood?
Jonah Goldberg discusses the love of dogs and what it means to be human regarding Michael Vick's conviction. He's changed my mind. This is what he said:
Indeed, as many have noted, dogs look to us as we look to God. Even Ambrose Bierce, a great cynic, defined “reverence” as “the spiritual attitude of a man to a god and a dog to a man.Finally, Brendan Loy notes, "All's Quiet on the Atlantic Front".
It’s still not a “slow season” yet, but if this keeps up for the next couple weeks, it will be.Let's hope the scientists are wrong. Again. For many different satisfying reasons.
You must have had a cloud over at your place since it was not raining here at all.
ReplyDeleteI just read this article on Mother Teresa and was deeply moved. The realness of her interior make-up may be as much of a testament as her work with the poor has been.
ReplyDeleteHer spiritual struggle to know God, feel God and truly connect with God is a struggle that all of us have. Spiritual life is not easy and never was meant to be.
I am so glad you linked to this, Melissa. Thank you!
