An Abiding Anguish
Thank you for the insightful article describing Mother Teresa's crisis of faith [Sept. 3]. I appreciated the evocation of several tenets of Christianity as well as those of agnosticism and atheism. I believe Mother Teresa was as close to God as humanly possible, and I agree that a parallel exists between Christ's final moments on the Cross and Mother Teresa's final 50 years, during which she didn't feel the presence of God. Her life of faith, dedication and commitment despite incredible spiritual trials should inspire us all, regardless of our religious inclinations.
