I heard that before and it just showed Mother Teresa's, human side. How she struggled with her faith. I really don't think anyone has a perfect faith. Everyone struggles with their faith.

Mother Teresa was a gem. For me you could just see the holiness radiate from her. When she spoke her words were so beautiful. I guess because of that we couldn't or wouldn't even want to imagine that this dear saintly nun had any struggles with her faith. I also think that when we see priests and nuns who are very holy, we think because they are a priest or nun that they don't struggle with their faith like a lay person. When infact they struggle with it more.

Mother Teresa would want to be perceived as having perfect faith. She was human and struggled as we all do, and I think she probably appreciated and respected that.
