Hands that Love One by One by One
When my husband was dying of cancer, the 24 hour care he would need was beyond our financial means (we had no insurance, of course), and beyond my capacity. I'm a people person. A paper person. A computer person. I am NOT, and never have been, a nursing or a doctor person.
From the day I woke up from a snooze in anatomy class to discover the person next to me dissecting a frog, I knew that this type of thing was not for me.
Yet, this incredibly ill man, who I loved with my whole heart, was coming home alone with me, and no one else to help care for him.
As I was agonizing over what to do, a novena of the late Mother Theresa's came to me in the mail. I prayed the novena and agonized. Exactly as promised, one day a change came over me. Miraculously I was able to care for this wonderful human being AS HE NEEDED TO BE. He died well, he died beautifully, he died loved, he died cared for, he died peacefully. Mother came to our rescue.
I later attended her beatification ceremony at St. Peter's Basilica.
I am building this page in gratitude for all Mother did. I recommend that you, too, when you need her, ask for her help.
Thank you for your patience as I build this page. It takes a LOT to do this incredible woman justice.

Dear Margaret,
Fr. Brian MC, the Postulator of the cause of Canonization of Mother Teresa is finishing to write a book on Mother Teresa's interior life, the darkness that she lived in for almost 50 years. Please kindly pray that this book will be soon available for all to read and discover more through Mother Teresa how much Jesus loves each one of us. It is supposed to be out on September 4, Mother Teresa's 10th death anniversary.
Please kindly pray that the message of Mother Teresa through the work we are doing, may shine forth in the world of today, that "God still loves the world through you and through me today;" that the poorest of the poor, the unwanted, the lonely, the rejected and each one of us may know and experience how much God loves us personally.
God bless you and keep you in His Love.
Sr. M. Elisabeth MC
Mother's Dark Night of the Soul
Pre-Release information about the book
- Mother Teresa's Crisis of Faith - TIME
- Her secret letters show that she spent almost 50 years without sensing the presence of God in her life. What does her experience teach us about the value of doubt?
- BostonHerald.com - Local & Regional: Flynn: Mother Teresa's doubts work of the devil
- Mother Teresa's struggle with faith - a torment revealed in her own secret letters - was a struggle with Satan himself and should not block her ascension to sainthhood, former Ambassador to the Vatican Raymond L. Flynn told the Herald.
"The devil does in fact work in different ways,&rd - Mother Theresa was 'Super Aware'
- Mother Teresa was not sophisticated. But she was smart ? very smart. She was aware ? super aware. She was also very simple in her understanding of Christ's presence in the world in and through every person.
That she did not ?feel? God's presence mattered not to her. That is the mark of the genuine dark night. She saw Christ present in every single person whom she met. And that is what Christianity is all about.

- Sister Leggol is the founder of the Sociedad Amigos de los Niños (www.saninos.org.hn). The aim of the organization is to give abandoned and abused Honduran children a loving home, an education and prospects for future employment, creating a future not only for them but for the country. In the half-century she's been at it, Sister Leggol estimates she's been a ?mother and father? to roughly 40,000 such children, many of whom are what she calls ?moral orphans? ? so badly failed by their own parents as to be effectively without a family.

For over forty five years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.
By the 1970s she had become internationally famed as a humanitarian and advocate for the poor and helpless, due in part to a documentary, and book, Something Beautiful for God by Malcolm Muggeridge. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work. Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity continued to expand, and at the time of her death it was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counseling programs, orphanages, and schools.
She has been praised by many individuals, governments and organisations; however, she has also faced a diverse range of criticism. These include objections by various individuals, including Christopher Hitchens, Aroup Chatterjee, Vishva Hindu Parishad, against the proselytizing focus of her work; this included baptisms of the dying, a strong pro-life stance on abortion and a belief in the spiritual goodness of poverty. Several medical journals also criticised the standard of medical care in her hospices, and concerns were raised about the opaque nature in which donated money was spent.
Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.Associate Press. (October 14, 2003). "Full house for Mother Teresa ceremony". CNN. Retrieved May 30, 2007."Blessed Mother Teresa". (2007). Encyclopædia Britannica. Retrieved May 30, 2007.
