Mother Teresa
|
|
She continues her mission even while, by her own ad-mission,
not sensing
Jesus'
presence
during the latter decades. Even though she believes in
Jesus
ongoingly, she says doesn't sense
Jesus'
presence.
It's missing for her. Yet throughout her crisis of
faith she continues, tirelessly driven. And if (by her
own admission)
Jesus
her partner is missing, by definition she also continues
alone. Yet she never flinches from keeping her promise to
serve.
I totally get her spiritual
heroism.
I'm awed by it. It ... blows ... me ...
away ...
At this point in her play, my conjecture is the Bible has exited
center stage, and I'm intrigued by wondering what would happen if
Werner
then entered stage right. I wonder what she'd say to
Werner.
I wonder what she'd ask him.
I'm not Mother Teresa. But if I were in her quandary, the first
question I'd ask him is "If
Jesus'
presence
isn't here, then what (or who's)
presence
is here?".
The second question I'd ask him is "Is there really
something missing? Or is it just me creating the
experience there's something missing?".
