Madre Teresa de Calcutá

"The loneliness of the heart that wants love is unbearable. Where is my faith? Even deep down, there is nothing but emptiness and darkness.
I have no faith.
I dare not utter the words and thoughts that crowd in my heart and make me suffer untold agony. So many unanswered questions live within me. I am afraid to uncover them, because of the blasphemy. If there be God, please forgive me. Trust that all will end in Heaven with Jesus. When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives and hurt my very soul. Love, the word, it brings nothing. I am told God loves me, yet the reality of darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul."

“You see, Father, the contradiction in my life. I long for God - I want to love Him, to live only for love of Him, and yet there is but pain - longing and no love. "

"The moment passed but the darkness is so dark, the pain so painful. But I accept whatever He gives and I give whatever He takes. People say they are drawn closer to God seeing my strong faith. Is this not deceiving people? Every time I have wanted to tell the truth - 'I have no faith' - the words just do not come, my mouth remains closed. Yet I still keep on smiling at God and all.”

Sabe quem disse tudo isso aí? A Madre Teresa de Calcutá. I'm happy I'm not alone...
