“There is so much deep contradiction in my soul. Such deep longing for God - so deep that it is painful - a suffering continual - and yet not wanted by God - repulsed - empty - no faith - no love - no zeal. Souls hold no attraction - Heaven means nothing - to me it looks like an empty place - the thought of it means nothing to me and yet this torturing longing for God. Pray for me please that I keep smiling at Him in spite of everything. For I am only His - so He has every right over me. I am perfectly happy to be nobody even to God. . . ."
Mother Teresa is talking like me. I hope she had an opportunity to step back from her work and even from church for a while and taking time to communicate and confront her "spiritual depression" openly and honestly with God and with others, mostly with herself. I know exactly how she feels... I could not get my peace back if I kept running... like her.
